Parking charges should not be allowed to increase revenue to a council that feels its not accountable to anyone other than itself.
It's a sorry affair when council officials are not able to express the views of the people they represent without fear of backlash from their peers.
Neath has much to offer with many new businesses coming to the town and leisure and community activities to be proud of, however all this is being undermined by committees that seem to forget what makes Neath a special market town and feel it appropriate to finance their white elephant projects on your money and peoples' livelihoods.
110 traders within the town centre have signed a petition. The council official that has the answers doesn't feel it a priority he meet with these traders or their representatives.
Car parks are provided within the town to allow the community they serve to enjoy what this historical market town has to offer.
Please sign this petition and let the council know that enough is enough and you're not willing to subsidise their bad decision making any longer.
We would like a review on parking restrictions and tariffs that will ensure it's not-for-profit and one that will help the traders and organisations that support our town centre.

Seeing this level of support reminds me why I started this fight for my fellow traders. It is clear that the council can no longer ignore the people whose livelihoods they are putting at risk.

We are approaching the one hundred signature milestone which will force a direct conversation with the council about these unfair charges. I need you to send the link to your neighbors right now to get us over this hump before the committee meets again.

If our town is to thrive having one day at least where parking is free is vital! We are already competing with out of town retail parks who wouldn't dream of charging for parking and so come on NPTCBC give this town a fighting chance!
I think it's disgusting that the price has increased to that amount and also charging to park on a Sunday when hardly any shops are open in Neath is absurd! Even Swansea has free parking on a Sunday.
This is why shops are closing in neath. Sometimes I would like to buy fresh fish from neath market but first you have to pay to park . The first hour should be free. Please don't put up the prices.
Neath is ridiculous to park even pontardawe have an hour's free parking in its car parks to help tradersq nptcbc are a complete joke when will they realise that the surrounding community have no trust in any of them
absolutely disgusting way to treat a town that's already in decline.I park in Milan road six days a week it's now going to cost me £ 936 a year before I open my shop as business owner we need help to promote this once healthy town not force people into out of town shopping areas
awful!!
needs to be sorted. its a crime.
