The recent removal of free parking in Beeston has ignited a fiery debate
The recent move to scrap free parking in Beeston has sparked a heated discussion among readers of Nottinghamshire Live. The decision has been greeted with annoyance and worry, which has sparked a wider conversation about how parking charges and public transport hit local shops and community living.
While R1891T believes: "This and the Tram, are two of the reasons why shops are struggling. I've lived in Chilwell for 40 years and the high road is vacant. The Tram being implemented, and then the parking restrictions caused this. It may sound silly to you, but not to other people" Atnotts01 said: "High Road would be in decline anyway. It has been filling up with takeaways, restaurants and bars for years, before and since the tram. Parking fees just exacerbate the problem and expedite the decline."
