How to kill off our business community - there is absolutely no point to these metres - they will kill 'pop in' trade. Have CBC and CCC councillors anything to say on this? A one size fits all 'parking meters' approach is not the best way for Copeland. Our towns are rural enough and at best rely on pop in trade and locals to shop. Zero common sense. What is going on in this area, as if these councillors are elected and then do their upmost to ruin our towns. These Councils will have bigger problems when businesses collapse through lack of trade - were are the business rates going to come from then??

Scandalous charges, twice the cost of parking in SE England!! Are they trying to put the final nail in Whitehaven's coffin?!

Wipeout accessible parking and charging extortionate fees for parking does will not only deter visitors from visiting our town but what's more important is that locals will travel elsewhere to shop and there will be nothing left in Whitehaven

I don't drive, but anybody in their right mind can see these charges will only be damaging to the town!

Don't start charging, it's bad enough that people don't go into the town this will totally destroy it.

It should be cheaper than other towns/cities that are bigger, have more to offer and yet don't charge as much for parking!
