I'm already doing this. How much did the installation of meters and signs cost? How much does ongoing maintenance and enforcement cost? How do parking meters 'reduce congestion' the reason given for putting this all in place?

This is going to hit Hythe hard as soon as people realize they cannot park up the sea front for free and enjoy a family day by the sea they are going to go elsewhere so now local business suffers. What a dumb thing to do to a wonderful place like Hythe. what next? charges to walk along the canal path

I'm assuming blue badge holders are still able to park. To make the effort to drive out somewhere and then find there's no blue badge bays, often means driving all the way home again. This is too much for most disabled people. No parking, no outings. Give us a break please. Ensure there is enough disabled parking. Thank you.

Our beautiful seaside culture is being decimated by greedy councils who waste tax payers money unchecked. The notice board posts and meters are in themselves an eyesore and now the road is to be closed before planning has even been passed. It was made quite clear to me during a conversation with a council representative during one of the many consultation exercises regarding Princes Parade that the outdoor activities so many enjoy "free of charge" to the great benefit of their well being are not interesting or of value to the council i.e. They do not entertain and bring in revenue. I think they want to create themselves a mini Sandbanks!

How can SDC charge and offer no facilities such as toilets?

Why should I pay money just to sit on a beach?

They removed the new meters in Lyminge car park years ago as people just parked elsewhere and it caused more problems for the Council.
