Afternoon,
The decision was taken with approval from the committee. We face a large annual bill from the City Council every year for Meteor Way. We have introduced the £1 a day charge per car so we can invest more money into the playing budget. We have not taken this decision lightly, this also enables us to increase the number of car parking spaces for Disabled Members. We were increasingly turning away Members who could not attend without being able to park, we have received some encouraging feedback with this from disabled Members and potential Members.
We will make parking available where we can at The E.C.G, this will be communicated via the website where applicable. I was not aware this was ever offered to Life Members forever. I will follow this up with Committee and advise.
To help we have negotiated use of the car park for ALL days on First XI cricket at The E.C.G. Furthermore, we have included midweek T20 Blast game parking at Our Lady Immaculate School, just a 1 minute walk to the ground.
More than happy, as ever, to discuss further - 01245 254039 / 07500 860197 /
