We object to the proposed increase in parking fees at Bell Street Car Park, Sawbridgeworth by over 50%, a move that would enrich EHDC by around £17,500—an estimated 20% increase in their income. This act would gravely undermine the financial wellbeing of our local businesses and residents. The unjust monetary hike is a serious concern for us, the traders and community members, as it imposes an undue financial burden. Our businesses depend significantly on the availability of affordable parking for our customers – a vital lifeline that has never been more essential given the current economic climate. Join us in opposing this regressive policy that threatens the vibrancy and resilience of our local community. Support us in urging EHDC to reconsider their decision and maintain the current fees. Please sign this petition to keep our locality viable for everyone.
