There are only 15 parking spaces available at this location, we feel it would not be cost effective to install the charging equipment compared to revenue generated.
Furthermore, in a time when access to public open space is nationally recognized as vital for resilient mental health, it would be a shame to impact the use of the car park with the introduction of charges, the negatives of commencing charging would be felt throughout areas of the village already very heavily congested with resident parking. During the week those that use the spaces are mainly delivery drivers, council employees or contactors maintaining the park & recreation space, post office van or staff from the EWFSC. Why should these people be charged & who would pay the bill?
Charges will just decant the parking on Football Match / training days to the verges we are fighting to maintain. We have been lucky to see the old Catholic Church used as a religious place of worship, & we are sure their move to the village was very much centered on the parking close to church. The car park is vital to the young people of the village as access to the Scouts Hut, Youth Club and a space to practice their driving skills amongst others.
