Mid Suffolk District Council is reviewing car parking facilities in the district – including the six car parks in Stowmarket for which you have to pay. Mid Suffolk is asking:
- are current charges appropriate?
- are the long stay and short stay designations adequate?
- is there sufficient car park capacity in Stowmarket?
- should alternative forms of management of the car parks be considered?
Stowmarket is a small market town and needs people to shop there. In the current economic climate we should be encouraged to shop locally and use the local businesses. Giving drivers an hour free or implementing Stowmarket Town Council’s idea of “free after three” would help I feel.
