Car Parking Survey

Did you know that on the 22nd February the Green-led Forest of Dean District Council, helped by Labour and Liberal Democrat Councillors, voted to increase your parking charges by 100%?

This ill-thought-out hike in the price of parking was opposed by all Conservative Councillors due to the impact it will have on local businesses.

I would be hugely grateful if you could take a few minutes to tell us your thoughts on this matter.
