Parking in the area near Aldi, Screwfix, and Barnardos in Denbigh has long been a concern for residents and visitors alike. With the only viable public car parks located at the top of town, expecting community members and visitors to park there and walk all the way to the bottom is simply unreasonable. This issue becomes even more pressing during public events, which draws attendees from across the region. If parking is not available, these cherished gatherings will see a decrease in attendance, impacting the social and economic vitality of the community.

The recent decision to place parking restrictions through a third-party company at this crucial location is not in the best interests of our town. These changes threaten the very fabric of our community life by making it difficult for people to participate in local events, visit the community theater, and support businesses at the bottom of Vale Street. These businesses rely on local and visiting patrons alike, and any reduction in foot traffic could have devastating effects. 

Furthermore, the restrictions could deter theater-goers, impacting performances and threatening the viability of our beloved community theater. The theater is not just a place for entertainment; it's a hub of culture and creativity that brings people together. Reducing accessibility could severely impact attendance, stifling the artistic and communal vibrancy Denbigh is known for.

We urge those responsible for the maintenance of the car park to rescind the contract with this parking company. Maintaining free and unrestricted access to this car park would directly support the community, local businesses, and cultural enterprises. It is imperative that those in power listen to the people of Denbigh and act in the best interests of the community we all cherish.

Please sign this petition to show your support for keeping Denbigh accessible and thriving for residents, business owners, and visitors. Together, we can advocate for change and ensure a future where Denbigh's community and culture continue to flourish.
