Brighton & Hove Liberal Democrats free Sunday parking campaign has gained enough support for a full council debate to take place on the proposal.
To date, over 1,250 people have signed the petition calling for council managed car parks and on street parking charges to be scrapped across Brighton and Hove on Sundays.
The debate will take place at the full council meeting to be held at 4.30pm on Thursday, March 27 at Hove Town Hall. To read the papers, CLICK HERE:
Central Hove Liberal Democrat, Jeremy Gale who has spearheaded the campaign, said: “It is clear that residents and visitors are being penalised by the Green administration for wanting to use and park their car. This is highlighted by the fact that last year the Council raised an obscene £16.25 million through parking revenues and fines, the highest anywhere outside of London.
“Scrapping Sunday parking charges will encourage people to visit Brighton & Hove and spend their money in the shops and with retailers across our city, helping our local economy to prosper.
“Not only do our plans help businesses – they will save residents money as well allowing them to travel across the city, visiting friends or family, safe in the knowledge that they will not be charged for on street parking.
‘That said, I urge councillors from across the chamber to fully engage in the debate the signatures of the petition have triggered.”
