There are already 2 main car parks that charge a fee, now the 2 hour free parking around Barry island is proposed to become on street paid parking at a cost to the vale council ( tax payers money) of £89k.

Zero consultation has been undertaken with local businesses and locals.

This will be damaging to local businesses, community groups and locals who like to visit quickly for a drink, snack, walk or meet with friends.

They want locals to buy a season ticket costing £100 to park in the main car parks. Even though we pay more than enough council tax with services reduced.

The council say they ‘want to be the best council they can’ - so it’s time they listen to local residents.
