As small business owners and advocates for sustainable tourism, we are deeply concerned about the proposed construction project on New Quay car park. This development will result in the loss of 224 parking spaces in the heart of our community. This equates to a total loss of 30% of New Quay’s current parking provision. There will also be a severe impact on the many New Quay residents who do not have parking outside or near their homes. It’s not the need for affordable homes that we oppose, but the chosen location. With less parking, the lifeblood of our local economy- the small businesses and tourism industry-is poised to suffer greatly.

The car park is central to our local economy and taking away this space will lead to a significant decrease in visitors and tourists. It’s a simple equation- less parking equals less visitors. Less visitors will impact our economy and cause job losses. Not only will this impact economic growth but also cause local congestion and less spaces for local residents. 
Please sign this petition to prevent the catastrophic loss of our much needed parking spaces.
