Here we go again! Every time I read this document it makes me more and more mad!
Investigate workplace parking charges in the North Fringe and cordon charge in Bristol City Centre.
So they’re now proposing charging people to park their cars in the north fringe areas like Bradley Stoke and Patchway - which could include companies such as Orange, the RAC, Rolls-Royce and Airbus.
What’s the point? Surely the congestion problems are inbound to the city centre?
If you fancy giving the councils who organised this work a rocket, or feel like reading up, then have a look here.
I don’t disagree that something needs to be done, but surely the way to do it is to encourage people out of their cars with cheap, reliable public transport, rather than forcing them out by way of hitting motorists in the wallet.
All you will achieve by penalising motorists financially is to alienate them and make them want to drive their cars more.
