Calls Continue to Bring Back One Hour Free Parking for Town Centre

As County Councillor for Bewdley, I have been inundated by phone calls and emails from traders and residents who feel utterly ignored and frustrated by the Progressive Alliance led Wyre Forest District Council’s approach to car parking charges.

At a full meeting of Kidderminster Town Council held this evening (Wednesday 10 June 2020) Councillor David Ross, Leader of the Town Council Conservative Group called on the Progressive Alliance-led Wyre Forest District Council (WFDC) to reconsider the removal of the one hour free parking concess

The Conservative Group on Wyre Forest District Council do not support the Progressive Alliance’s decision to not take cash payments in its car parks as of 1st June when charges are reintroduced.

The Wyre Forest Conservative Council Group welcomes the announcement by the Secretary of State, Robert Jenrick, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, that a major package of support is available immediately for our communities affected by the floods due to Storm Denis.

Wyre Forest District Council wants to abolish the One Hour Free Parking in the specified car parks (which was introduced by the Conservatives) in April 2020 and charge £1 for that one hour.
