Plans to end free parking in Bushey and Radlett, Hertsmere, have met public backlash as over 1,500 people signed a petition to the borough council.
Hertsmere Borough Council is set to introduce new parking rules in Bushey and Radlett.Hertsmere Borough Council could"shoot itself in the foot" if it ends free parking in Bushey and Radlett, a councillor has warned.
Cllr Morris warned the change would undermine local shops and said the council could “shoot itself in the foot” if businesses started to close with a “loss of business rates”. He said it would be an additional cost on those who want to “pop in and get a loaf of bread”, which he added would also affect local shopkeepers.
Motorists can currently park free for one hour at the Bushey Kemp Place, Bushey Country Club and Radlett Newberries car parks, before charges kick in for stays of two hours or longer.But the authority has plans for a £1.10 parking charge for the first hour.
