That would make Ampthill itself a big car park .The hub would take a big hit

Please don't charge for parking. People won't pay and will park further into residential areas and put pressure on small roads.

We should be encouraging people to use the park, not putting them off. You will only push the parking problem somewhere else, Parkside for instance. Parking is a massive issue in this town, let's not make it even worse.

I understand that with demand for the park the maintenance will increase but as a resident of Ampthill, (but the other end of town) this would make it impossible for me to walk my dog there each day. I think there needs to be another alternative to raise funds. Perhaps sponsors/patrons or government funding?

How’s charging to park going to help town centre businesses unless you’re deliberately trying to drive people away?

Locals already pay tax towards the park, it would be unfair for them to pay for parking.

At a time where our space is so much needed for exercise both physically and mentally I do not support the charge.

The parking at Ampthill Park has been free for decades why do they find the need to start to charge now. This will push people to seek alternative parking in near by streets or going elsewhere which will then impact on the hub. This is wrong on every level.

I would never use Ampthill park again after many years of happy dog walks. All I can say is please don’t be so greedy.

I walk my dog everyday in the park and think it would be outrageous to charge me to walk with my dog in the town where I live after paying extremely high council tax, I would boycott the park and simply walk my dog somewhere else, I know many people who feel the same.

Car parking charges would result in some families not using the park. The park should be available to everyone.
