ASET Statement on Car Park Charges

ASET

A STATEMENT FROM AUDLEM SPECIAL EVENTS TEAM.

As you are no doubt aware Cheshire East Council is proposing charging people to use the Audlem Public Car Park. Not only will this have a significant affect on all local businesses and organisations but will jeopardise the annual Party on the Park and the Audlem Transport Festival in the future.

Next year we celebrate 25 years of ASET but if this new policy is imposed ASET will have to find more money to cover the costs of closing the car park for both events.

At the moment ASET is charged by Cheshire East £320 for use of the playing field and £450 to close the footpath from the field to the Shroppie Fly. If ASET have to pay for the full car park closure this could amount to at least an additional £850.

Total charges for the use of our own field and car park will be over £1,600 each year which ASET considers unjust and immoral for a community organisation to bear.
