Petition against Somerset Council parking hikes

parking meter with charges increased

Stop the New Parking Charges

Liberal Democrat run Somerset Council are planning to introduce a new policy that mean you will have to start paying parking charges…

  • …on Sunday across the county.
  • …after 6pm.
  • …at on-street parking locations currently free.
  • …in villages that currently offer free parking.
  • …year round, in places such as Burnham-on-Sea.

We believe that this is an unfair extra cost for residents at a time when the council is already inflicting an inflation busting 7.5% tax hike – the biggest rise in decades!

It will be damaging to local shops and our already-struggling high streets. And will particularly impact the vital tourism, leisure and hospitality sector businesses across Somerset 

We, the undersigned, ask that Somerset Council reconsider this policy and remove these punitive changes from the 2025/26 budget proposal.
