2hrs is not sufficient to shop in Tesco, get a coffee and go shopping. There is always spaces so why create this restriction , it will affect town centre restaurants and retail.

I think the 2hr. restriction imposed by Tesco will badly impact on businesses in this wonderful small market town.

There is not enough time now to do large shop and use cafes. Cafes are going to lose out. Why has Tesco control of all the carpark.

Why do tesco have a say on how long can park in a carpark that belongs to the people of whitchurch

I feel that the 2hr restriction on Tesco car park has impacted badly on the town centre as it gives no time to shop in the town or use local cafes, this must be bad for business. this car originally was left to the people of Whitchurch.

The car park was for the people of Whitchurch and Tesco have a cheek reducing parking time further. Last week instead of shopping in town I just did a quick shop in Sainsburys. No time to stroll around the town and have a coffee. It's either or now

Yes, detrimental to keeping people in town to shop, browse and support local businesses.

Yes it has, not enough time to shop, meet for coffee or have hair done, huge detriment to the high street especially in these challenging times.

I like to have something to eat at Joli or Moo and Boom but I haven't got hardly any time left to look around the shops .

2 hours parking is ridiculous, especially if people wanting to use the swimming pool as well.

My elderly mother uses tescos car park as a base to do some necessary shopping and is worried that 2 hours isn’t enough. She has enough to worry about to have an addition isn’t fair. I have never found the car park full to capacity, don’t understand the need to reduce the time.

2hrs isn't long enough to shop and stop in town for a coffee. Now you just get what you need and go home. No browsing or coffee time.

Have appointments hair/ glasses/feet/pharmacy/clubs or having a meal with friends 2 hours to get back in your car and drive out of car park is not enough!

If you go the hair dressers and then need to go Tesco 2 hours isn't enough time or at least have the option to pay for longer time :)

This will affect resturants pubs and cafes . The beauty of whotchurch is you can shop and spend money in the high Street. There has always been enough spaces to do that why change something that works for everyone especially the high Street. Market shops and cafes please don't spoil our lovley town. For what do we can swim fir 3 hours
