Mr Rand MP says Labour is putting the brakes on “rip-off parking charges”. Perhaps he should have a word with his Labour colleagues at Trafford Council.
Their latest budget proposals include longer on-street charging hours, Sunday car park charges, charging from 8am to 8pm and paid parking at Thorley Lane.
Protection from unfair private parking penalties is welcome. But that won’t stop residents paying more to park under Labour’s local proposals.
Our shops, cafés and restaurants need support. Making visits more expensive risks driving customers away.
Connor, will you stand up for local residents and businesses and oppose these proposed charges?
