00:00In the meantime, it's quiet and quiet, but for how long?

00:05According to the council's plans,

00:07it will be necessary to park this part of the castle

00:10all the way along the bridge to the Gleis or Consti.

00:13They suggest raising £3.50 for two hours

00:16or £5 for four hours of parking,

00:19that's from 8am to 7pm.

00:22The plan is to park the castle

00:25all the way along the bridge to the Gleis or Consti.

00:28They suggest raising £3.50 for two hours

00:31or £5 for four hours of parking,

00:34that's from 8am to 8pm.

00:37For those who live and work here,

00:40Aberystwyth parking is quite expensive already.

00:44Setting up the road and parking in Aberystwyth

00:48would be a joke.

00:50I'm in a meeting at the moment.

00:52For those who work in the town, where are they going to park?

00:57I just think it's a double-pronged attack.

01:00One meeting, one parking,

01:02and a final nail in the coffin in Aberystwyth.

01:05After the council's plan,

01:07raising the price for parking in the town

01:10would encourage people to use more public transport,

01:14avoid traffic accidents

01:16and encourage the opening of local businesses.

01:19The bridge is one of the places to park

01:22without a price at the centre of Aber.

01:25So what was the plan to lose?

01:28What I'd like to say is,

01:30if there are many places to park in Aber like this,

01:33and to encourage people to park on the bridge

01:36where people cross,

01:38we'll park on the bridge,

01:40so no, it's not a good thing for people.

01:43I think some people will stay over

01:47because of that.

01:49Of course, people tend to stay in one place for a long time

01:54if there's no need to move at all,

01:57but that can be a problem too.

02:00Do you think they're a good idea?

02:02Well, no, I don't think so

02:04because it will keep more people out of the town

02:07and there's not a lot of parking in the town itself.

02:11I know the council has to raise money.

02:15I know, I understand the cost,

02:18but at the moment, I don't think it's a good idea.

02:27Give hope to the prom and the centre of Aber

02:30is the bridge of the council.

02:32For businesses, the priority is to encourage people

02:35to lose their customers.
