Gould this be the solution to Whalley’s parking problems?
by Faiza Afzaal
COULD a long-stay car park in the heart of Whalley be the solution to the village’s on street parking crisis? An ambitious plan for a possible long-stay car park
in the village, accommodating up to 24 cars, is due to come before a meeting, being held tonight at the vil lage’s Methodist Church Hall in King Street. Plans submitted to Lancashire County Council tc
upgrade Whalley bus station will also be discussed at the meeting, which starts at 7-30 p.m. The highly controversial demand for a car park in
the village has been growing steadily over the past few years, but has now reached a crisis point. A group of villagers is battling to renovate a small
piece of land in the centre of Whalley - known as Vale Gardens - in an attempt to resolve the village’s traffic problems. They claim that the proposed “redesign” will not
only resolve King Street being cluttered with cars all day, but will include a recreational area for villagers to sit, rest and host social activities, without sacrific ing the garden values. But these plans have been rejected by a majority
vote of Whalley Parish Council, which owns the gar dens and the adjoining bus station. The parish council is refusing to give up the land,
which members feel is an important landmark in the village. Commenting on the long-running dispute, parish
council chairman, Coun. Eric Ronnan, said: “The land was bought 20 years ago to have some open space in the village for people to sit and rest. “It was built for that purpose and should remain.” Currently, there are two private short stay pay-
and-display car parks in the village, but long-stay parking is not permitted. A meeting was held at the borough council cham
bers last month, where residents suggested the intro duction of time-limited parking in King Street. The residents argued that this would allow shop
pers to pull over, shop and leave in a matter of min utes allowing other motorists to park. But officials from Lancashire County Council, whc
are in charge of highways, said they could only allow the introduction of limited-waiting if a long-stay car park is introduced. Member of the village’s parish council and land
lord of The Dog Inn in Whalley, Coun. Norman Atty, is certain that the establishment of a car park would not only benefit traders, but will prove a plus- point for shoppers and villagers. “The issue is not just about car parking, but it is
about congestion in the village, about redesigning the gardens in a bid for them to become a real focal point for the community,” explained Coun. Atty whc is also chairman of Whalley Chamber of Trade. “I would like members of the parish council tc
reconsider their decision and I hope at tonight’s meeting they will consider all the options available to solve the parking crisis in the village.” However, some villagers are still unsure as tc
which is the best way forward. Borough and parish councillor Coun. Chris Ster-
ry, said: “We all know that parking and traffic man agement in Whalley is not going to be an easy prob lem to solve. “I myself am not convinced that car parking on
Vale House Gardens is the ideal solution, though 1 would love to see the area landscaped more sympa thetically and opened up to a wider variety of uses. “I do, however, support the recent initiative taken
by some members of the parish council to ensure that the public is made aware of the full range of possibil
ities for this area and have the opportunity to com ment. The meeting was initially being held to talk about
plans for the regeneration of the bus station, but many feel the plans are useless until the parking problems in the village are resolved. The proposed plan, drawn up by the county’s net
work management team, is just one of the plans up for discussion.
It shows space to accommodate 24 cars without sacrificing much of the garden area, (s)
