Petition against Cuckfield Parking Charges

Stop Parking Charges in Cuckfield

Conservative West Sussex County Councillor Pete Bradbury is leading the campaign against the introduction of parking charges in Cuckfield by the Liberal Democrat-led Mid Sussex District Council.

This deeply unpopular proposal has been brought forward with little to no consultation with the very people it affects most: our residents, local businesses, churchgoers, and village visitors.

Parking in Cuckfield has always supported the village’s unique charm and accessibility. These new charges would:

  • Place an unnecessary financial burden on residents, particularly older people and families running everyday errands.
  • Threaten the viability of local businesses, who rely on free short-stay parking for passing trade.
  • Discourage church attendance and community engagement, especially on Sundays when many rely on accessible parking to attend services and events.
  • Deter visitors from coming into the village, affecting not just commerce but the wider cultural and social life of Cuckfield.

Cllr Bradbury and the local Conservative team are calling on Mid Sussex District Council to reverse this decision immediately and commit to properly engaging with the community before taking such impactful actions.

We urge all those who care about Cuckfield’s future to stand with us. Sign the petition, speak out, and help us protect what makes our village work for everyone.

Together, we can make a difference.

Save Cuckfield Parking

I would like to be kept up-to-date by the Conservatives on future issues that matter to me: There will be an easy way to opt out of future messages. For more information on how we handle your data and your rights, please see our Privacy Policy.

We, the undersigned, call on Mid Sussex District Council to reverse the decision to introduce parking charges within Cuckfield Village.

This petition reflects our collective opposition to both the imposition of these charges and the lack of meaningful consultation with local residents and businesses prior to the decision being made. We believe that introducing parking charges will negatively impact the village—hurting local trade, discouraging visitors, and reducing accessibility for residents.

The signatures collected will be formally presented to Mid Sussex District Council at the earliest available council meeting following September 1st, and prior to any final decision being made, to ensure that the concerns of the Cuckfield community are clearly heard and properly considered.

Your contact details will only be used to keep you informed about the progress of this petition and other local matters affecting our community. We will not share your data with any third parties, and you may request its removal at any time by contacting [email protected].
