Residents and local businesses in Shrewsbury and coastal communities are expressing concerns over proposed and approved increases in parking charges. In Shrewsbury, the changes have been described as 'excessive' and 'detrimental', with the intent to encourage alternative transportation methods such as walking, cycling, and public transport. Shropshire Council has approved a price rise for council-owned car parks and on-street parking areas, but the specific date when the changes will come into place has not been disclosed. Meanwhile, in Bristol, the cost for annual resident parking zone permits is set to almost triple, from £56 to £178.

When will @DurhamCouncil *listen* to local businesses, community, and visitors? Introducing these damaging parking charges when parking was previously free will undermine employment and local businesses in our coastal communities. 🤷♂️ 🚗🚙🛻🛺 🅿️ https://t.co/3d8Oq2HjxP
