By Geoff Fisher Re the introduction of parking charges (Reepham Life, 10 August 2019)
I feel parking charges will be detrimental to the footfall of the town.
We are very fortunate to have high-quality businesses operating in Reepham, which draw in visitors from all over.
One of the perks of visiting our lovely town is the free parking. It allows people to visit and park without the fear of incurring fines for overstaying. Public transport is also limited to the town, requiring the need to bring a car.
Parking charges will also negatively impact people working in the town who will see their take-home pay squeezed.
My view is that we need to be realistic about the world we live in now and welcome people who wish to visit and work in Reepham. They will spend their hard-earned money in our town, growing its business and creating prosperity.
