Help Formby to save its Village by saying no to Parking Charges!
PLEASE help Formby to save its remaining small businesses by keeping Sumner Road, Parking Charge Free! Current restrictions on this car park are free parking for up to 2 hours with no return within 3 hours from 9am to 6pm, but as we reported in our 6 June 2015 issue, this might be about to change. Sefton MBC has announced that following a proposal to start charging, 7 days a week, from 8am to 6pm, at Sumner Road, Formby. As many of the remaining independent shops have commented:- "As the death knell tolls this is the nail in the coffin for our once fantastic Village." Back in 2011 Formby businesses where warning Sefton that the end was close after a dramatic change of the traders’ demographics within the Village, due to outside factors and lack of support from the Council. Now those warnings have become reality and the few remaining businesses are now questioning their future. In our 13 June 2015 issue we ran the headline:- "Is Formby's Village Canter doomed?" after Formby Books announced it had to close. So please help support the local businesses, not only by shopping local, but also downloading and printing out this letter, then sending it to Formby Parish Council, Formby Library, Duke Street, Formby, Merseyside, L37 4AN, before 6 July 2015. Alternatively fill in the form page on the Parish Council website using the wording on the letter along with your own comments. To use that form click here and to get the letter, please click here.
