In addition to the already highlighted issue of the land sale at Fitzwilliam, there are also some other items on the agenda for the meeting which is to take place tomorrow:
07 SPECIAL MOTION – CAR PARK CHARGES, HEMSWORTH WATER PARK
Pursuant to standing order 9, to consider a special motion received from Cllrs G Eccles, J Eccles, Hirst, Kenyon, Pringle and Wilson to review the decision made on 2 March 2023 regarding the car park charges at Hemsworth Water Park and to receive staff feedback.
Ferret readers may recall that the Independent ‘cabal’ made the decision to scrap car parking charges when they took office back in May 2019.
They seemed oblivious to the fact that Car Parking has always been free for the residents of Hemsworth, Kinsley and Fitzwilliam.
This was because as part of the Precept you pay towards it’s upkeep.
However the ‘cabal’ thought it was a good idea to also allow non residents who pay nothing towards our facilities to also be able park for free.
Historically, the income from car parking has been around £30,000 per year.
So, that’s another £120,000 of income the ‘cabal’ have ‘lost’.
Ferret thinks this is such a shame given the state of the facilities at the Waterpark, Playworld closed, the pathways being unpassable and now one of the beaches closed off to the public.
Oh what a legacy you have left for our community, Jimmy and Jean.
How proud you must be?
What sort of ‘scum’ would think this acceptable?
ROCKS! Yes large rocks placed across the edge of the water, due to the Town Council’s insurer refusing to insure the beach due to the utter disgraceful state it has been left in.
Maybe the ‘scum’ could eat the ‘sand flies’ as some sort of bush tucker trial?
Ferret wonders who supplied the sand?
Members of the public can, and Ferret would encourage you, to attend the meeting tomorrow which is being held at the Community Centre from 7pm.
