Title of scheme |
Shirehall Overflow Car Park – Pay & Display |
|
Description |
It is proposed to make the existing Shirehall overflow car park on London Road, Shrewsbury further available to the general public at all times hence provide an alternative off street provision for all local businesses, establishments, residents and visitors. Following the introduction of parking restrictions on the main Shirehall carpark there have been a number of issues with parking being displaced and a notable increase in on street parking by visitors to the area. Access to the overflow car park is currently limited to office days and hours meaning that the short stretch of London Rd in the vicinity of the overflow carpark and other limited on-street provision is frequently targeted by visitors and there are concerns with regards to the safety of highway users. Local amenities in the area it is believed could benefit from the increased availability of the car park to the public include Prestfelde School in particular very young children visiting the swimming pool, the Courts, the Shrewsbury College Group, London Road Campus, St Giles Church, the Shrewsbury Muslim Centre and the Whitehorse Public House. The introduction of charging with pay and display, coin and card payments, season ticket options along with concessions for residents and blue badge holders will give customer flexibility whilst facilitating improved management and deterring unlawful use of the carpark. |
