Aberavon seafront parking charge

[Neath_Jack]

Any Facebook post about Swansea City Centre will be full of replies from people saying parking is too expensive. No amount of people pointing out it's £1 per hour and capped at £5 in multiple car parks stops these people/bots.

Yeah it’s just people convincing each other that the world is against them.

That is quite possibly the case. I do however, believe it will affect businesses and impact on folk who genuinely cant afford such charges. You have to look at the bigger picture, and not just assume that its keyboard warriors having a rant, it really isnt that simple, imho.

It won’t, certainly not at peak times / sunny days. People are not going to sit in the house rather then pay a couple of quid to park. Because if they go to any other tourist type place, they are going to have to pay.

Are the car parks free in Mumbles? Port Eynon, Rhosilli? I’ll be surprised if the answer is yes.

Hell no. We took the dog for a run on the beach down Oxwich a few weeks back and had a munch at the Oxwich Bay Hotel. Parked in the car park by the beach for a fiver.

I honestly can’t think of a seaside car park where you don’t have to pay. Not saying there aren’t any, but I can’t recall one.

Are you speaking as someone who can afford a couple of quid here and there. I'm not being funny here, but, there are folk for whom it will make a massive difference. And I guess you know the answer to your second question. I'm really not trying to be contentious here or condescending but it's tough enough out there without this type of thing going on.
Anyhow, I guess we'll agree to disagreed.

If it was something I enjoyed doing, I would alter my spending to allow me to be able to continue. Nobody stands up for the less well off than I do, but kicking up a fuss over this is silly. Nobody likes change, especially if it’s something we’ve previously done for free, but we are where we are. That parking money is desperately needed.

No, I didn’t know the answer to the second bit, I haven’t been to any of those places for donkeys years.

You brought the post up, hence my replies to you. Never mind aye

If you can afford a car and to fill it with petrol you can probably afford a few quid to park it.

There are still loads of free places to park in the city centre if you know where to look, it's just most of them are a little bit more out of the way, and a lot of people just can't be arsed to add an extra 5-10 mins walk onto whatever it is they're doing.
