This will damage local businesses, especially during the Winter months, when regular visitors won't come because of the charges.

All I can say is if free parking is passed Penarth front will become a ghost area and the poor traders will loose all their revenu and older, infirm and disabled people will miss their opportunity to visit this area for health reasons. Where do you think people who are on poor incomes and pensioners can afford any parking charges with all our amenities and food going up. We pay extortionate rates for housing tax and get nothing in return, so stop getting extortionate pay rises and bonus and put the money to community funds

THIS IS A SHOCKING PROPOSAL THAT WILL HAVE A DEVASTATING IMPACT ON BARRY. BUSINESSES ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING. COUNCIL TAXES ARE ASTRONOMICAL IN THE VALE. LIMITED LEISURE FACILITIES. MONEY GRABBING AT ITS FINEST! BARRY WILL BE A GHOST TOWN RIP

Subject: Opposition to Proposed Parking Charges on Barry Island To: [email protected] Dear Democratic Services, I am writing to formally oppose the proposed on-street parking charges for Barry Island. These charges will have a significant negative impact on local residents and businesses. As someone who frequently visits Barry Island, I believe this decision will: Limit my ability to visit and enjoy the area. Deter visitors, affecting local businesses that rely on regular footfall. Add unnecessary financial burden on residents who already contribute through council taxes. It is deeply disappointing that the same individuals who opposed such charges in 2019 are now advocating for them. This reversal undermines trust in local governance. I urge you to reconsider this proposal and prioritize the interests of residents and the local economy. Sincerely, Thomas Giles of Regent street Barry

Barry council seems like you are going to drive all the tourists and locals who enjoy the facilities of these places away. Making Barry a ghost town.
