Parking charges at Ashton Court
Ashton Court (Long Ashton car park) was completely empty this evening since the introduction of the new parking charge. Normally there would have been 15 or so cars there. Now people are parking outside The Angel pub and walking over with their dogs/children across the busy road. It is only a matter of time before there is a bad accident. The car parking machines must have cost a fortune too. Booo Bristol City Council!!

“I believe you are possibly talking about the entrance near Long Ashton. Most people that would park in this area are officially within North Somerset. Even if we wished to pay the yearly reduced fee of £95, we can't because we do not live, as Bristol council assess it, in a Bristol postcode, although the car park is I. The North Somerset boundary. Therefore we have to pay £365 per year to, walk the dog, access for the elderly/disabled, use the MTB Trail (if we drive to park before cycling) etc. All I can see this doing is increasing the parking near the Angel pub, and then North Somerset are going to end up double yellowing that stretch of road, due to the heavy congestion. For so long, Long Ashton has accommodated parking of vehicles along this stretch of road for events such as the balloon and kite festivals, but it seems that when Bristol council need extra fees they are quite happy to alienate residents of North Somerset to make up the short fall!”
