Calls will be made at a full Powys County Council meeting to review a car parking price hike which came into force in April.
This is due to fears that Powys town centre businesses are suffering as people avoid shopping there due to the cost of parking.
The proposal will be put forward by Councillor Gareth E Jones of the Independents for Powys group and will be seconded by Councillor Graham Breeze of the Independent group. Councillor Jones said: “That extra money can be used to offset any review costs in time for the next full council meeting in October.”
It asks for councillors to be give a “fully costed estimate” of the income for this year when compared with the base budget and any details of budget virements needed. Builth Wells Town Council has received a number of complaints from traders, residents and visitors about the increased cost of parking in long stay car parks at The Groe and Smithfield Road.
“I am sorry to say that this is wishful thinking at its worst. Significant numbers of residents, and people who live close by, use the car parks for short duration trips into town for things such as prescriptions, meat from the butchers, and groceries. They now have to add an extra cost to these visits.
