Cllr Mandi Tandi has spoken to many residents on the doorstep and free parking is a top priority for local people and our high street.
In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, high streets across the UK have struggled despite the government's significant support grant scheme. Knebworth and surrounding villages have been no exception.
NHDC should be doing everything it can to make it easier for residents to visit and use local shops in our village.
30 minutes free parking in St Martins car park would greatly help in increasing footfall to our shops.
Cllr Mandi Tandi has been supporting the Parish Council by having discussions with NHDC to secure 30 minutes free parking.
Speeding up the delivery of free parking, will be beneficial to our local businesses and vital for our village’s economy and employment, as a whole.
Cllr Mandi Tandi believes that 30 minutes free parking should be introduced without delay to help encourage more residents and visitors to shop in our high street.
