Ray Jones, a retiree from Caerphilly, learned of the proposals while fishing on the pier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I\u2019ve been coming here since I was this high,” he said, holding his hand out at waist height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My family were miners and my dad would bring me from Abertridwr on the steam train, and we would walk through the park to the front. It was a great adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Now I try to come here as often as possible, sometimes to fish, sometimes to see the sunrise and watch the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Currently, I park on the front and carry my fishing things along the pier. Paying would be that little bit extra. It wouldn\u2019t stop me from coming, nothing would, but it\u2019s that little bit extra.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richard Hayward, owner of the Beachcliff complex, said: “Penarth businesses need every bit of support they can get. The charges will impact visitors and put further pressure on local businesses that are already struggling with rising costs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proposed charges and locations<\/h4>\n\n\n\nIllustration of where the charges would affect Penarth Esplanade<\/strong> James Bessant Davies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The new charges will apply to the following areas in Penarth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\nThe Esplanade<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
\nCliff Hill<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
\nBridgeman Road<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nParking Charges<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n\n
Off-street charges (Cliff Walk car park):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nOn-street charges (10am – 6pm):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\nUp to 2 hours: \u00a32.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n Up to 4 hours: \u00a34.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n Up to 6 hours: \u00a36.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n All day: \u00a38.00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\nUp to 2 hours: \u00a32.50<\/li>\n\n\n\n Up to 3 hours: \u00a34.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n Up to 4 hours: \u00a36.00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhat does the council say?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Vale council estimates that installing parking meters and signs would cost \u00a369,536, with annual maintenance costs of about \u00a310,000. It estimates that the 94 on-street spaces would generate about \u00a361,758 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBeachcliff development, Penarth on a sunny morning<\/strong>.

Council leader Lis Burnett said: “While we welcome people to the Vale and understand why they want to enjoy the fantastic attractions on offer here, there are maintenance and resort management costs associated with visitors which the council must meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Asking this group to contribute to the upkeep of our resorts is only fair as that responsibility should not lie solely with residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We have made on-street parking free before 10am to accommodate locals and restricted on-street parking to a maximum of four hours to ensure different people can access these spaces throughout the day.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do the public think?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n “It\u2019s not good,\u201d said Thomas Bell, a Penarth resident who visits the esplanade frequently with his wife Laura and their young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have young kids and come often to walk. We are about a 30-minute walk away, which is a trek with the children\u2019s buggies. We normally drive to the seafront and walk along the pier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If you have to pay, it\u2019s going to be harder for us; we might have to think of going somewhere else.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Buckland, a retired sailor who lives in Penarth, said: “It\u2019s bloody disgraceful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m just disgusted at it all. It seems the council doesn\u2019t know how to generate money other than looking at someone with a car. This area is so dependent on tourism. The fees that they charge will just keep people away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“People come from the Valleys and don\u2019t want to spend a couple of extra quid, that\u2019s their ice-cream money.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cath Woodhead, who works at Shore gift shop on the Esplanade, said: “In the winter it\u2019s a quiet time. Lots of elderly people visit and I think these new charges will put people off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It\u2019s a no from me. I\u2019m somebody who won\u2019t go to Barry Island because of the lack of free parking on the front. I think it will have a massive impact on the businesses here.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karen Smith is a community nurse at the Marie Curie Hospice on Bridgeman Road. She is concerned how the parking charges will affect the hospice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I regularly have to walk to and from my car with heavy equipment. Parking close to the hospice means better time management,” she wrote on the petition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“These charges will increase parking issues around Bridgeman Road and impact the 200 patients on our caseload. We park here to work, not for leisure.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophie Harrop, a postgraduate physiotherapy student, is one of the many people who come from Cardiff to enjoy the peace of the seafront. “I drive 20 minutes from Cathays to walk. I come knowing that I can park down here for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I probably pop over with friends several times a month. It\u2019s a beautiful place, and a walk here really clears the mind. I think it\u2019d be a shame. I would consider driving somewhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happens next?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n Vale of Glamorgan Council Environment and Regeneration Scrutiny Committee postponed a discussion on the issue scheduled for January 14 to allow more time for public engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Committee chair Susan Lloyd-Selby said: “There is understandably a considerable amount of public interest and concern about the proposals set out in the report. I propose that the report is deferred to a separate special meeting to ensure sufficient time for committee to scrutinise the report as well as enabling effective public participation.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next Environment and Regeneration Scrutiny Committee meeting is set to take place on January 28, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
