Answering Pay on Foot questions
Bromsgrove District Council is answering
residents’ frequently asked questions on Bromsgrove’s new improved
Pay on Foot car parking system, in the run up to the target launch
date of April 1.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the
new system for the Recreation Road South - commonly known as ASDA -
and Churchfields Multi Storey car parks, are being made available
on the Council’s website as well as at the Customer Service Centre
on School Drive.
The move is designed to give people the
information they may want or need, especially to reduce any
surprises once the new system is in place.
The leader of Bromsgrove District Council Cllr
Roger Hollingworth said: “Along with the latest drop in some
parking charges in January, this change to a better value
customer-friendly system for people parking in Bromsgrove is
another step in improving conditions for the town centre. Feedback
from residents has shown they want us to lower parking charges and
introduce Pay on Foot systems - well we’ve listened and done both
of those things.
“These improvements complement other town
centre regeneration work we are involved in with our partners, such
as the new Health Centre behind Parkside School, the street market
and redevelopment of the old Market Hall site and the excellent new
public toilets and bus station.”
Headline questions amongst the 16 FAQs, which
will be available on the Parking section of http://www.bromsgrove.gov.uk/
and on request at the Customer Service Centre, include “How will
the new system work?”, “How do blue badge holders retain their
additional hour’s parking?” and “Can I prepay for my parking?”
