Stop Havant Borough Council from introducing Sunday parking charges at Mission Lane Car Park, Cowplain.
The introduction of Sunday parking charges will impact everybody, but the effect will be especially felt by Cowplain Evangelical Church.
Places of worship, such as Cowplain Evangelical Church, have played a central role in community life for 140 years in our community, offering spiritual support, charitable work, and social outreach, directly benefiting hundreds of residents every week. The introduction of parking charges at Mission Lane Car Park, used predominantly by the church on Sundays, amounts, in practical terms, to a tax on worshippers and volunteers alike. It creates a pay-to-pray scheme.
I have written to the Labour leader of Havant Borough Council objecting to his plans which overruled HBC's own Overview & Scrutiny Committee and said these charges should not come into force. A full copy of my letter is attached on this webpage.
If you agree with me, sign my petition, which I will be sharing with HBC very soon. Let's make our voices heard.
