Some startling statistics for the two years that the coach park and some car parking has been occupied by the temporary tolerated traveller site. Based on DDDCs own figures from 2019 when 809 coaches paid to use the coach park, the village has lost 1618 coaches bringing visitors to the village! Nowhere to park

These coaches - based on coach company advice could have brought into the village around 61,600 visitors to the village.

Then there are the 22 car parking spaces. These would only have been used at busy times of the year - school holidays, illuminations etc. but we estimate if each car carried 3 passengers then then they would have brought another 51,720 visitors to the village This loss of 113,320 visitors has resulted in a massive loss of income to the businesses in the village

Where are the hundreds of visitors who were driving around the village over the bank holiday weekend, furious that they could not find anywhere to park, snarling up the A6 and causing serious traffic congestion?  They need to sign our petition and contact Derbyshire Dales District Council and complain. Please keep spreading the word

And if you are able, become a promoter of our fight by donating whatever you can. This will buy promotions on the change,org website to spread the word. This has been very successful so far with 50% of our supporters finding our petition this way.

Finally thanks for your continued support
