In the last twelve months parking costs at the council run car park outside The University of Glamorgan Merthyr Tydfil Campus have increased by 50%. This increase is having a detrimental effect on students being able to continue with their studies. I hereby add my name to this petition and campaign for the local council to implement a fairer pricing system for students using the carpark. I believe that the council should offer a lower price for people studying at the college and implement this as soon as possible to avoid students having to drop out altogether due to financial concerns.

I was chatting with a few people in the library yesterday and it is just heartbreaking to hear how many are skipping meals just to cover the ridiculous parking fees. Seriously I am trying to get someone from the council to actually sit down and look at these numbers but getting an email back is like shouting into a void sometimes.

I really thought this might just fizzle out but seeing so many people jumping on board has completely blown my mind. Honestly it makes me feel like maybe the council will actually have to listen to us for once because who can afford these prices when we are already broke from tuition and everything else.

50% increase in a year is absolutely mental. how do they expect us to finish our degrees when every penny counts?
