says Wiltshire Council chief From Salisbury Journal

despite putting no other proposal on the table.

Cllr John Thomson said in a letter to the Journal members want to listen to the views of the public before making any final decision.

Steve Godwin from the Salisbury Business Improvement District (BID) says people are able to put forward ideas on how they would fund any cut in the price of parking charges in the city.

He said: “This consultation seems a genuine desire by Wiltshire Council to seek the views of businesses and local people.

“It is an opportunity for Salisbury to carefully consider its options and to constructively voice its response.”

Cllr Sven Hocking accused Tom Corbin of hypocrisy for his attack on council in last week’s Journal despite backing previous plans to raise the price of long term parking in the city albeit with a substantial cut to the price of short stay parking.

He said: “We should be trying to pull tourists and shoppers into the city, not scare them away and I fear a considerable number of the snails that may have considered coming to Salisbury to do their Christmas spend will now have slunk off to Bath and Winchester.

“While pretty much everybody in the city is in agreement that the costs of parking are, and have been detrimentally too high, it should be incumbent on our councillors to promote the city positively, not run the place down in an attempt to score cheap political points.”

This is the same councillor who I emailed 6 months ago about a parking problem in endless street. Hopefully he’s reading this, please can you tell me what your solution is in zone E. Endless street has had two new residential properties built out of previously owned council offices, plus with the addition of a very welcomed development cheap jerseys on the old bus station there is just not enough permit parking as half of the street is pay and display surly it could be made into a mix or residents in zone E can park in a car park nearest to there home if there are no spaces left in the zone.

Cllr Sven Hocking said: “We should be trying to pull tourists and shoppers into the city, not scare them away and I fear a considerable number of the SNAILS that may have considered coming to Salisbury to do their Christmas spend will now have slunk off to Bath and Winchester. ”

Snails? Not a nice thing to call potential customers.

I’ve just completed the consultation survey regarding parking in Salisbury http://www.cheapjerseys11.com/ and I must say that I was surprised by the threatening tone of the questions posed. The questions included statements that other service would be cut if prices were reduced. I think the consultation is extremely biased and quite obviously designed to produce a re determined outcome. We all know that the car parking strategy in Salisbury was designed to squeeze as much money out of the city as possible, but increasing parking charges is madness.
