MP James Wharton raising the issue of the proposed parking charges and its impact on Yarm's economy, to the House of Commons.

Fellow Residents of Yarm

Yarm Town Council, Yarm Borough Counsillors and indeed our MP James Wharton were astonished to see so many of you in attendance at the Public Meeting held at the Fellowship Hall on the 12th. We thank you all for attending.

However attending the meeting is only the first step in our ‘battle’ against Stockton’s attempts to subjugate us! Following the vote in which 100% of you voted against pay and display, I Jason Hadlow, Chair of Yarm Town Council outlined the next step, or ‘battle’ if you like, in our campaign.

The next step is a protest to be held inside and outside the Scrutiny Committee hearing at 4.30pm on the 19th January in Stockton Library. A coach has been laid on by Yarm Town Council and will pick us up at Yarm Town Hall at 3.30pm returning immediately after the hearing. It is a 52 seater and I would like to see it full! Anyone wishing to travel by car can meet us there but beware Stockton are ‘Red Hot’ at parking enforcement!

Don’t let them win! We need your support and we need you there. Do Not rely on others to do that which you can do yourself. Please bring placards, posters and boards.

TV, Radio and local Press will be in attendance along with representatives from the Taxpayers Alliance.
Please email us at parking@yarmtowncouncil.org.uk, so we can get an idea of numbers.

See you outside the Town Hall at 3.30pm on the 19th January.
