Forum of Private Business calls for councils to scrap town centre parking charges to help empty shops flourish again

Yes, please free parking. Scrap the meters and I would shop more often in Huddersfield.

Carole Gosling

Yes, it would work for me as long as it was, say, two hours free parking. More would mean that people would park all day for free and go to work or university etc, not actually shop

Sharon Moorhouse

Get some decent shops, like the ones most go to in the shopping centres. That would mean lowering rent to entice them in, but can’t see the property owners doing that so I’ll just keep going to the shopping centres.

John Hood

In Wakefield it’s free to park after 3pm.

Sounds like a plan?

Stuart Siswick

What about those of us who don’t drive and have to pay extortionate bus fares?

Emma Stead

Change gritting policy say Kirklees councillors

A bit late!
