You Said
The engagement exercise took place between 23 December 2022 and 20 January 2023. Overall, 21 responses were received from a range of interested parties including regular car park users, sailing club members and residents. A significant number – though not all - of respondents opposed the proposed changes to charges in coastal car parks.
