Herbert Avenue is especially busy with the Haygate Road, Road works, plus drivers to the park. It is going to cause a nasty accident with cars parked everywhere.

I would prefer to park on the car park than on the road and would use the park more

(Telford, 2020-07-25)

Additional car park space

(Telford, 2020-07-25)

A the park is now used more and just by locals like me the opportunity to get cars off Herbert avenue to improve safety should be taken
This has become more of a necessity with the roadworks at the top of Haygate Road

I and my husband use the park regularly to walk our dog and we use the Bowring cafe and can't always park.

I’m signing because this business needs people to visit. Parking spaces are essential. Not everyone can walk to this venue. A place where People can meet up safely outdoors. See the beautiful flowers and have a bite to eat and drink. A benefit to mental health in the current circumstances.

I really appreciate the availability of Bowring having grown up living in nearby Haygate Drive but now retired to other side of town and needing to travel to visit.

It’s dangerous when people are parking along the main road - this would solve that problem. It’s great that the bowring Park is seeing more activity - seems silly to have a perfectly good carpark that’s not being used.

It would be more convenient to use the car park off Herbert Avenue to Access Bowring Park

(Wellington, 2020-07-27)

#29

There is not enough spaces by the cafe and that has been a huge benefit to all people exercising and meeting friends in the open air.

The parking on Holyhead road and also Herbert avenue is dangerous, it’s an accident waiting to happen where a young child might step out.

(Telford, 2020-07-27)

#35

If there are parking spaces available they should be used. This will keep people from parking on the road & causing issues

(Telford, 2020-07-27)

#36

This car park is a facility that should used

(Wellington, 2020-07-27)

#41

The park use has increased and parking has become an issue.

(Telford, 2020-07-27)

#44

I want the traffic Parked on the road to go into the car park

(Telford, 2020-07-27)

#49

The park is popular and there could be a accident soon.
Because the cars park anywhere.

(Telford, 2020-07-27)

I use the Bowring and cafe regularly. It’s a great venue and has served us so well during the horrid time. Anything to make attending easier and help the locals with the amount of cars would be great.

(Telford, 2020-07-27)

#54

I’m signing because it’s absolutely ridiculous that this perfect car Park is kept locked making the main roads into Wellington so dangerous to cross all because the residents don’t like it being used??

(Shropshire, 2020-07-27)

#57

More parking is needed during the diversion of traffic

(Telford, 2020-07-27)

#58

I'm signing because we've been there and we haven't been able to park

(Wolverhampton, 2020-07-27)

#59

Thy Parking at bowring is getting ridiculous with the one car park

(Telford, 2020-07-27)

#64

I am signing this as during Road closures and diversions Herbert Avenue and Haygate Road parking is dangerous. However I would expect the car park to close as normal once roads back to normal

(Telford, 2020-07-27)

#70

I believe this car park should be open for public use on a daily basis. Anyone who attempts to leave their vehicle overnight could be 'ticketed' and fined.

(Telford, 2020-07-28)

#72

It makes perfect sense to utilise the off road parking, similar to that used by the Bowring Cafe. I.am.a Herbert Avenue resident and the road is particularly busy at present with the roadworks on Haygate Road and the diversion. Herbert Avenue is often used as a "short cut" too so opening up the parking will absolutely help.

(Telford, 2020-07-28)

#73

We need this car park open, so the road is not full of cars and become dangerous.

(Telford, 2020-07-28)

#74

It will help with the continuing popularity of the Bowring park and cafe, while helping to ease congestion on nearby residential streets.

(Telford, 2020-07-28)

#75

It will be safer if the car park is open rather than park on the road blocking the view for pedestrians and drivers alike.

(Telford, 2020-07-28)

I use the park and cafe every week. It's like a hidden gem. Good old fashioned park with a fabulous cafe.

(Shrewsbury, 2020-07-28)

Our green spaces should be easily accessible to all

(Telford, 2020-07-29)

#87

the bowring is part of my youth, my parents youth and my children youth, it needs to be available to all and therefore car parking is essential

(Telford, 2020-07-30)

#90

I use the park and see how busy and over crowded the other car park is. With kids everywhere, it’s dangerous and makes no sense not to have all car parks open

(Wellington, 2020-07-30)

#91

Need more space to park .

(Telford, 2020-07-30)

#92

I'm concerned about safety as currently cars have to drive through the crowd outside the popular cafe in order to park behind the tennis courts. Opening the Herbert road car park would help keep cars out of busy parts of the park.

(Wellington, Telford, 2020-07-31)

#93

I live close to park and Herbert avenue getting really busy for local residents especially as road diversion currently going through it

(Wellington, 2020-07-31)

#96

I use the park regularly the popularity of the cafe and out door space means this is really needed.

(Telford, 2020-07-31)

Current road works and diversion down Herbert Avenue is causing major traffic issues for residents. Also increased park usage because of COVID but changing rooms not allowed to open. Loads of cricket teams playing and lots of followers. Parking desperately needed.

(Telford, 2020-08-01)

#107

I'm signing because we need this car parking space to stop cars parking on surrounding roads creating Risk

(Wellington Telford, 2020-08-02)

#111

Daytime opening of the car park makes sense.

(Telford, 2020-08-03)

#115

Like walking around the park but there insufficent parking

(Telford, 2020-08-03)

#117

I think the car park should be available to those using the park

(Telford, 2020-08-03)

#127

We couldn't get a parking space last week. I'm disabled and can't walk far so we ended up leaving without being able to visit the park.

(Telford, 2020-08-04)

#129

As a family we use the bowring Park throughout the year. During the summer months parking is a major issue that would prevent other families from accessing the park safely.

(Telford, 2020-08-05)

#130

To reduce congestion of traffic whilst diversion comes through Herbert Avenue

(Telfird, 2020-08-05)

#133

The park was to be used by all to enjoy the fresh air and have somewhere safe to bring children to play, have picknics and have a lovely free outdoor space. People Do Not have the right to Stop this happening.

(Telford, 2020-08-05)

#136

I walk at the park with my dogs daily and sometimes I drive there because of a bad knee.

(Telford, 2020-08-05)

#137

This poses a nuisance to local residents with an increase risk of blocking of the road and accidents.

(Walsall, 2020-08-05)

#139

I would love to visit the park but being disabled I need parking nearby

(Telford, 2020-08-06)

#145

It’s becoming a danger with cars continuing to pass the que at the cafe , only needs a child to run out & it’s too late then to say ‘oh we should have opened the other car park’
ACT now don’t wait

(Telford, 2020-08-10)

#147

I'm signing this because I want Herbert Avenue to be a safe road for everyone .

(Wellington, 2020-08-12)

#149

The parking area is needed for all the visitors that arrive by car to visit the park.

(Telford, 2020-08-13)

#151

I'm signing because of the dangers created by excessive parking on the main road and the problems caused within the park of so many vehicles trying to drive in to find a parking space, endangering pedestrians and children in the vicinity of the cafe itself.

(Telford, 2020-08-14)

#156

As a local resident with 3 kids, having more safe parking options at Bowring Park now that it is so popular would be great, and safer rather than parking on Herbert Avenue.

(Telford, 2020-08-18)

What Paul is saying makes sense. More people using the park need more parking spaces for the future in this lovely well maintained space.
