Residents across Elmbridge face significantly higher parking charges next month, as the Lib Dem-run coalition at Elmbridge Borough Council are planning to hike them at car parks across the borough.
If the council administration gets its way, free Sunday parking would end at three local car parks, and weekday and Saturday charges would be hiked by 8% at 12 other car parks.
These plans would hit families across the borough and be particularly damaging for our local high streets and businesses – which have just had a challenging festive period.
Your Conservative councillors are opposing the plans and have started a petition to stop them. If the petition receives 3,900 signatures, it will force a public debate in the council chamber and show the strength of public feeling.
