Whitehaven needs to attract people, not drive them away, as this is what the proposed parking charge will do!!

Shocking that these charges are to be the most expensive in the county. The council are ruining this town year by year.

lived in Whitehaven all my life (35yr) and never seen it so quiet, it doesn't take a bright spark to understand why either. How on earth will these outrageous parking charges help!!! Come on CCC see some sense for once!!

I would urge the Council to reconsider this move. Whitehaven used to be a beautiful vibrant town. It is slowly being destroyed.

Seeing things like this make me glad I left Whitehaven behind. I'm a local lad, and used to always be out and about in Whitehaven, especially when I passed my driving test all those years ago. Back then, parking was easily affordable and that encouraged people to go into the town. Over the past few years, the charges have crept up and up, 10p here, 20p there, and nobody complained. Maybe we should have, because £1.80 per hour is an absolute joke. I have family who live in Sussex and even in Brighton and Worthing it isn't this expensive! Rethink needed definitely, or Whitehaven might as well just get called Sellafield Mk2.
