Council officers are progressing on getting an early strategy in place to manage car parking in the Brierley Hill area. A 15 minute walking zone around the Merry Hill Centre has been identified in consultation with police and a working part of the Town Centre Partnership has been set up to identify the best ways on engaging with the community to determine the best way forwards.
The move is to ensure that any wider parking issues when charging is introduced at Merry Hill are identified in advance and plans put in place to deal with them.
It should be noted that there are no immediate plans to implement charging at Merry Hill and no implementation date has been determined.
Our speakers are Emma Hindes from Westfield, Cllr Judy Foster on the Police Authority and we have a presentation on Hawbush Community Gardens.
