'It's a bizarre situation when the road is lined with vehicles and there is a perfectly good car park standing half-empty'
Clitheroe car parking fees and payment hours are unfair because they hit daytime visitors to a leisure centre while evening and weekend users pay nothing, Ribble Valley Council has been told.
She told councillors: "I'm a leisure centre user and I'm asking the council to take action regarding parking arrangements during the day. I go to Roefield five or six times a week to exercise in the morning. People who go there in the daytime have a range of backgrounds. Some have parental responsibilities. Some are retired. Some care for other people. Some are taking a break from caring.
She added: "It's a bizarre situation when Edisford Road is lined with cars and there is a perfectly good car park with hundreds of spaces, standing half-empty because of payment arrangements. In the evenings, the car park is full because it's free. He added: "The council has got to strike a balance between maintaining its own viability, being business-like and aware of costs, and being aware of the needs of customers, so they show loyalty going forward.
Conservative Coun Jan Alcock said: "I have a lot pf sympathy with the lady who spoke. Paying £400 to keep fit is unacceptable. However, free parking is probably not an option. Roefield could perhaps become a long-stay car park? Then people could buy a £90 permit. That would be simpler than re-jigging the ticket machines."
