🚗🛍️ Parking Changes in Pontypridd & Aberdare? Here’s the Scoop! 🛍️🚗
Heads up, shoppers and drivers! Exciting parking proposals are on the table for Pontypridd and Aberdare, and they could make your town visits more convenient. 🚶♀️🛒
What’s being proposed? Bi-annual adjustments to short-term parking fees are being considered. On Saturdays, the charging hours might extend to 8am-3pm, instead of the current 8am-10am, to increase turnover and make it easier for you to find a spot right by your favourite shops. 🕗
Why the change? The idea is to encourage better use of short-term spots while making long-term parking more attractive and affordable. This could mean more time for you to explore local shops and enjoy town centres! 🏬🍴
The goal isn’t just about increasing revenue—it’s about making urban shopping vibes even better. Plus, by setting short-term rates slightly above subsidised bus travel, they’re hoping more of us might hop on public transport, save some petrol, and reduce traffic! 🚌🚴♂️
A consultative approach is key here. Local councillors are eager to hear your thoughts, so it’s a chance to make sure the new system feels right for everyone. 🤝
Remember, these changes won’t apply in December, when parking is free, so your festive shopping spree is unaffected! 🎄🎁
🎤 Have your say: What would make your shopping trips more enjoyable? More diverse shops, better parking options, or tasty new dining spots? Share your thoughts! 🗣️
Stay tuned, and let’s see how these proposals pan out for our beloved towns! 🌟
