Protecting Free Parking in Our Towns
Free parking is vital to keeping our high streets accessible and thriving. Local businesses tell Charlie that parking charges drive shoppers away, making it harder for our town centres to compete with out-of-town retail parks and online shopping.
Charlie supports free parking in our towns because it helps bring people back onto the high street, boosts trade for local shops, and keeps our communities vibrant. It also helps residents access vital services, such as GP surgeries and pharmacies. He believes the Government must do more to make visiting our town centres easy and affordable for everyone.
