Free parking returns to Aberavon Beach laybys after public pressure
At a special Cabinet meeting on Monday 4 August 2025, councillors voted to reinstate free layby parking along Princess Margaret Way, citing the strength of feeling expressed by residents, businesses, and local groups.
The move follows intense public engagement, including a packed meeting at the Seaside Social and Labour Club in Sandfields on 20 June, where locals voiced concerns about the impact of charges on mental health, accessibility, and the viability of short, frequent visits to the beach.
Earlier coverage by Swansea Bay News highlighted growing frustration over the charges, with calls to scrap them intensifying ahead of key council meetings. In one article, campaigners described the fees as “unfair and unnecessary,” arguing they disproportionately affected older residents and those with mobility issues.
In response, the council’s Visible Services and Streetscene Scrutiny Committee recommended a reversal on 25 July, prompting Cabinet to act swiftly.
Cllr Steve Hunt, Leader of Neath Port Talbot Council, said:
“It was made very clear to us at that meeting how important the laybys are to people’s mental health and how important they are to local businesses and community groups, and we listened.”
The new arrangement will introduce free parking under a ‘two hour no return’ rule, once signage is updated and traffic regulations amended. Crucially, no enforcement will take place during the transition period.
The council had previously proposed changes to soften the impact of the charges, including reduced rates and exemptions — but these were met with continued resistance from the community.
Cllr Hunt acknowledged the financial pressures facing the council but emphasised the importance of listening to residents:
“We recognise the wider impact these charges have had on our communities. I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to express their views on this issue in so many different ways.”

We get it: It’s counterintuitive. But free parking isn’t really free. And removing parking minimums doesn’t mean there’s no parking. It just means that the land that would have been used for excessive parking can be used in a more productive way."

“#Monterey City Council also approved an amendment to the city’s #Downtown Specific Plan that, even a few years ago, would have been unthinkable: eliminating all residential #parking requirements for #housing in the plan’s area, which stretches from Van Buren Street to Camino El Estero. The purpose of the amendment, [City Manager Hans Uslar] says, is because 'every on-site parking spot increases the cost of housing.’”—David Schmalz, #MontereyCountyNow https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/opinion_blog/monterey-is-cracking-down-on-those-who-rent-out-their-homes-illegally-with-stiffer-fines/article_037bc2f0-7b9d-11ef-b764-ab4ac4ec7f8e.html

'Parking isn’t as important for restaurants as the owners think it is'
'Customers who travel by car also bring in less revenue than the restaurateurs think. Based on our sample, customers who drove provided less than 20% of revenue for the restaurants they were frequenting.'

"#CarParking in housing developments should be 'wholly eliminated' where there's good access to urban services & #PublicTransport.
To meet #climate & #sustainability targets, draft guidelines from Department of Housing will reduce car parking spaces “at all” urban locations.
The graduated approach would see parking spaces at new homes #minimised, substantially #reduced, or “wholly #eliminated” in major #cities."
#CorkCity #Dublin #Ireland #ClimateCrisis
New rule:
Car parking must be maintained from direct user fees on the parked cars.
No free parking allowed (in cities & suburbs).
Yes, including at office parks and strip malls. Pay by the hour, from minute 1.
The intake from the parking must cover the cost of constructing the car park, and for the maintenance etc.
And no car parking should be required for new/renovated/repurposed buildings, of course.
