No one who lives in Coventry should be charged for parking here.

This will have an impact on families struggling who want to use the park with their children. So many things are been taken away where children can play and meet others. Another unfair tax on the struggling familes. Find another way to raise funds such as charging more when events take place .

TO START CHARGING FOR THIS IS JUST CRAZY . YOU WOULD STOP SO MANY PEOPLE FROM VISITING AND THIS WILL REDUCE YOUR REVENUE FROM THIS . AND THEN THE PRICES WILL GO UP AND UP . THIS PARK WAS GIFTED TO US COVENTRY FOLK .

The Memorial Park is an important space and the amenities are there for all Coventry citizens and as such there must be a free parking time for all to allow access to the facilities.

The is a place for reflection, peace and remembrance. Not a money making opportunity.

Can this disgraceful Council not understand the damage being caused by penalising the very people they are supposed to support. What happened to democracy?

Blatant profiteering. To penalise Residents and Rate Payers of Coventry for visiting the City’s main park for leisure and health . Disgusting. We shall remember next election.

Parking charges would mean we would not attend the junior park run each week, which would be a real shame.

Keep it free! Please don't make people pay to get healthy and exercise.

You’ll force parking onto local streets which defeats the point of a car park. It’ll also have a negative impact on Parkrun- surely you should be looking to improve the health of the local population?

Even if it just remains free/subsidised for Saturday/Sunday mornings?! It will impact hundreds of people ranging from children to pensioners trying to exercise and be healthy. Also be prepared for lots of parking on grass verges causing more maintainance work for the council.

Will cause congestion around Earlsdon roads Saturday morning. Parkrun is important to many people no charges on a Saturday.
