Rejected petition Free parking in Newport City Centre

Free parking in Newport City Centre to complete with shopping centres such as Cwmbran that offer free parking for everyone.

More details

Free parking in city centres can help shoppers by making it more convenient and attractive for them to visit and stay longer, thereby increasing the likelihood of them making purchases. This is because parking is a derived demand, meaning people park in city centres primarily to use retail facilities. By offering free parking, city centres can compete with out-of-town retail parks, which often provide free parking, and attract more customers. Additionally, free parking can encourage shoppers to stay longer in the city centre, potentially leading to increased footfall and sales for local businesses.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.

Parking rules in the city would be a matter for the council.
