On-Street Parking Cost Rise

Submitted 1 year ago by Marlene Lucia Gabriela Kidd

Passed

Leicester City Council has increased the cost of on-street parking by the University by 100% from £4 to £8, for which you can only pay in coins for. With the help of the SU and other students, I want to campaign to the council to reduce this rise. I feel that this is vital considering the current cost-of-living crisis deeply affecting students, especially those already trying to reduce costs of studying at University by commuting.

Dhruv Parmar Parmar: 7:28pm on 25 Jan 23 Similar issue applies to the Freeman's common car park, I believe it should be available to students that live further away at a reduced cost as with timetables sometime stretching up to 6+ hours parking can became pretty costly.
Vaibhav Sharma: 5:15pm on 27 Jan 23 Yes students should have discounted parking because it really helps and the university bus is unreliable as it doesn't follow the time table.
