ampthill park is a much loved recreation space for local residents of all ages and as such should remain a free place to park, especially during our current crisis where people’s mental health is under strain and fresh air and exercise vital.

Parking charges in Ampthill park! Horrendous idea, it’s a community space & in these times of worry & woe to charge people for parking is abhorrent

Lived in Ampthill all my life i use our park and feel we should not have to pay to enjoy the beauty of the town we live in,will make parking even more of an issue

Very bad idea. This will cause major congestion with free parking being sort elsewhere. This would also mean that a cheap day out would become far more expensive and in these times many families would be left with no other decision than not to enjoy the park.

We need to encourage people to get out and exercise. Surely, access to fresh air and play for children should be free.

This is unfair on people who just want to enjoy the area

Ampthill Park is a great place to walk the dog, then have a coffee & cake after. Also, fabulous park for the Grandchildren. Maybe look for other facilities if parking had to be paid for

There is always complaints from the local and county councils complaining about parking on verges and now they want to charge. Look what happened to the charged Carpark past the church, it was too expensive, no one used it and now houses are being built.

Charging will drive people away from the park and park on the surrounding roads

Parklands should be free for everyone to enjoy

There are managed dog walkers particularly older folks who use the car parks daily at less popular times i.e. 07:00-08:00 and 16:00-20:00. Charging these good people would be outrageous.

Parking charges will only lead to further congestion in the surrounding streets and Waitrose car park

Ampthill residents already pay higher council tax than many nearby towns and villages for upkeep of park and it would be very unfair to have to pay to park and particularly to pay to park in lay-bys

Local people need free parking to access Ampthill park especially in current times when meeting people indoors is difficult.
