I feel the carpark is always full so is obviously much needed and losing it would have a big impact on the market, trade would be lost which would affect the livelihoods of the traders.Susan Woollin (Leeds, 2021-11-26)

This car park is really handy as i work in the market. Lets not take any more custom away from people who are trying to make a living.Tarbatt Deborah (Wakefield, 2021-11-26)

Along with the ludicrous decision to close Morley bottom this would kill trade for most of us in Morley Market. Id like to know Who up at the top is getting financial gains from these Stupid decisions cause they seem to slip through without much public notice.Duane Silvers (LEEDS, 2021-11-26)

Morley needs free parking to encourage shoppers to our small town to keep our independent businesses open.Krantz Paul (Leeds, 2021-11-26)
#20
I work in Morley and like many others use this car park as parking is quite limited in the area. Getting rid of this car park will reduce parking even further and stop people traveling into Morley leading to shop closures and job losses.Jodie Smith (Leeds, 2021-11-26)

In the interest of morley town centre businesses it is vital to retain accessible free parking both for traders and customers alikeAnthony Hart (Leeds, 2021-11-26)

This is going to make Morley a ghost town ! Stupid idea if there ever wasTracey Mercer (Leeds, 2021-11-26)
#24
There is virtually no parking around that area. This is used for people with accessibility needs and also the shops in the local area. Removing this would be catastrophic to the local high streetBen Johnstone (Leeds, 2021-11-26)
#25
I believe in the value of that car park. Generally people don’t stay long. They call into the market or whichever shops and then take their goods home. If anyone needs to have a sit down and rest they are able to do so on the pedestrianised area where there are benches available.Barbara Marsden (Leeds, 2021-11-26)

We need the parking in Morley town centre.Lynne Appleyard (Morley, 2021-11-26)

Parking in Morley is at a premium. Taking away the free parking will have a great adverse effect on all the businesses in the town. The country as a whole are supposed to be supporting our high streets, shops, markets and other business and protecting peoples livelihoods and historic culture.Michelle Walker (Wakefield, 2021-11-26)
#30
Morley already has a good number of public parks/green space, removing car parking will kill the town centre and businesses (people will go elsewhere where they can park), alternatives (public transport) aren't good - railway station is a fair distance from the town centre and Morley doesn't even have a bus station. Basically, it's a foolish proposal that will not benefit the town.Steve Travis (Leeds, 2021-11-26)

The car park needs to stayStephanie White (Leeds, 2021-11-26)
#33
I believe there should be at least one car park for the people of Morley which is free as so many of our independent shops customers are made up of our local residents. Help support each other!Jonathan Litten (Leeds, 2021-11-26)
#34
We do not need a play area(I am a parent and we have a play area nearby already), but we do need somewhere to park to access the local shops. The existing car parks are always full. They are being used to capacity and reducing the space available is mind boggling.Alison Turton (Morley, 2021-11-26)

Only free parking leftJacky Stephenson (Leeds, 2021-11-26)
#41
I always park in that car park when I’m visiting Morley it’s so easily accessible to the town and I don’t think it’s fair on the people of Morley to have to pay for the parking especially the workers who have to park there because of the other market car park getting changed to a pay car parkGareth White (Leeds, 2021-11-26)

We need to support our local businesses as much as possible. Parking is terrible in Morley at the best of times never mind taking this important provision awayDean Carroll (Bradford, 2021-11-26)

It's a ridiculous idea that will stop people shopping in the market even more and it's hard enough for stall holders to earn a living at this timeAndy Gavins (Morley, 2021-11-26)

I regularly visit Morley and use this car park. Making it pay to park will deter a lot of shoppers. Wakefield has successfully offered 2 hours free parking and this has boosted the local economy greatly.Fisher Jason (Wakefield, 2021-11-26)
#53
The centre of Morley is very busy it will be a huge blow if there is less free parking close to the Market & shops. Im all for more green spaces however there is a lovely park close by where an activity space can be made.Rachel Arrowsmith (Leeds, 2021-11-26)

No need for a playground or green belt plenty of parks in morley, carparks needed more for people to come and shop, and not make morley a ghost town .!!David Wood (Morley, 2021-11-26)
#67
I use this carpark on a regular basis and the council are hell bent on destroying morley, our small market town is being chipped away at by the council with modifications nobody wants.In 30 years they have pedestrianised and to more disbelief closed a major road at morley bottoms so drinkers at local bars can sit on the old road which is now a pavement.
Making the traffic in surrounding streets impassable.
How many more changes can be made to a small town which will only survive by people visiting it.
Morley is in the domesday book.....if they make any more changes you might as well get the tippex out and remove it from the book as well

Morley Council and LCC really don't have a clue. If people can't park or live more than a mile away they will go somewhere else.Graham Spencer (LEEDS, 2021-11-26)

I’m a Morley resident, this would be yet another step towards strangling our town. We encourage visitors yet pedestrianise more roads and alienate them from parking up to enjoy it. The Market traders too need access for their business/stock.Ananda Hemsley (Morley, 2021-11-26)

That's car park is essential to the market and the shops on Queen Street and would have a devastating effect on people's livelihoods if it were to be changed. There are plenty of parks in morley and an activity area is unnecessary.Donna Hayward (Leeds, 2021-11-26)
#132
I am a regular commuter to morley and have grown up in this area. This car park is ideal for all people who commute by car to morley who wish to park local to small independent business. Without car parks like this people will feel less reluctant to visiting which will reduce the footfall and customers for the mentioned local independent businesses and will impact the whole community.Thomas Marshall (Batley, 2021-11-26)

#154
It's getting ridiculous. What is the councils bigger picture here? When will this stupidity end? The town is literally down to its bare bones regarding footfall. The pedestrianisation didn't help. That deterred people from coming to morley to shop and encouraged them to go to the whiterose. And now to put the final nail in the coffin, the council plan on taking away the small amount of free parking space left. They may as well have all shops boarded up with a map of how to get to the whiterose on them. And don't get me started on bloody housing. Too many houses and flats been thrown up all over on the hollow promises of extra doctors/dentists/schools/road management that we all know have no intention of improving.Dave Wilson (Leeds, 2021-11-26)

I live in morley and there is a lovely big park near the Town centre and also Lewisham park only a couple of minutes walk away from the car park, neither park is over used so why lose parking space to a garden that may not be very well used. Also, if parking spaces are lost it may affect morley businesses and we need to support local businesses not work against them.Diane Goodson (Leeds, 2021-11-26)

#196
I work at the market and if the car park was closed there wouldn’t be anywhere for the employees of the market to park for free meaning we would loose out on money after we have had a tough time keeping afloat with the pandemic anyway, this is the last thing we need now we are just getting back to normal. Also customers wouldn’t have anywhere to park meaning our footfall would decrease and we wouldn’t get as many sales. It would cost a lot of people there jobs and everything they have worked hard for would be lost.Amie Fields (Leeds, 2021-11-27)

This would have serious effects on the shoppers who need easy access to the market and local shops. The businesses would definitely lose customers. There are already many play areas in and around Morley including parks! These are located around housing estates where they are needed...not in the centre of a busy market town. Leave that space for the shoppers to keep the town going and open PLEASE this makes no sense whatsoever it is a complete waste of money.Lynne Bedford (Leeds, 2021-11-27)
