Cheshire East: Green light for controversial parking charges plan | Manchester News

Sarah Bennett-Wake, of Macclesfield Town Council, which already has parking charges, said it seemed “only fair”.

She added: “If we don’t do things differently like in Macclesfield, we’ll end up with a section 114 [when a council is effectively bankrupt] and everything will be cut.”

A report ahead of the meeting said there would still be an £800,000 shortage and councillors were asked to consider a number of other recommendations.

Recommendations including cashless parking across the borough, charges on Sundays and charges on evenings were approved.

However, a proposal to start charges from 08:00 GMT, impacting school drop-off time, was rejected.

The measures would be subject to further public consultation.

Speaking after the meeting, Labour Cllr Crane said: “We are in a situation, as just about every council is, where we have to balance our books and those non-statutory services are at risk of being lost.

“To me it’s a better option to include a user pays approach rather than having to consider removing those car parks and releasing them into the private sector,” she said.
