Local residents have reacted with outrage following the news that Liberal Democrat-run Stockport Council are proposing to introduce charging at Torkington Park car park. At a time when residents in Stockport are paying the highest Council Tax in Greater Manchester, charging residents to use one of the last remaining free car parks in our area is not only insulting but bad for local residents.
Tim Morley and your local Conservative team are committed to opposing these plans. They are asking anyone who wants to keep free parking at Torkington park to sign the petition below and make their voice heard.
Tim said,
"Last year the Liberal Democrat Administration hiked car parking charges in our district centres and now they are coming for free car parks used by families accessing our green spaces. We have to stand up to these reckless proposals. Not only could this encourage more parking on the surrounding streets but it risks hurting the health and well being from use of our parks.
Under the Liberal Democrats, we pay the highest Council Tax in Greater Manchester - yet all we hear from them are plans to deliver less but charge us more."
