Quote by VOX:
"Jul 19, 2017
Hidden parking rules hurt our cities. Will Chilton and Paul Mackie of Mobility Lab explain.
The cities we live in are shaped by the way we get around them. Over the past 60 years, with more and more people opting to drive cars, the need for parking spaces has increased with the boom in driving.
To accommodate that demand early on, cities and towns started requiring developers to include parking with their new buildings after World War II. These policies, known as mandatory parking minimums, set precise standards for parking spaces for each building. And these parking spaces don't come cheap.
Will Chilton and Paul Mackie of Mobility Lab explain."

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.”

Parking

"Every driver feels they deserve “rockstar” parking, ideally right at their destination, secure and free – and they’re aggrieved if they can’t have it. Behind the wheel, we assume a universal impatience, intolerance and entitlement. It simmers above the unspoken anxiety of not being able to park."

"Since the 1950s, cities have been defined by their valiant efforts to cater to these base instincts. We have paved them with carparks, relinquishing wetlands, parklands and foreshores. We have foregone housing and public amenities, all to ensure optimal storage of high-emissions private property."

'The great paradox is that while parking is both objectively abundant and an exorbitant tax on everyone, no driver is satisfied. So we build more parking, and download more apps, and our cities become less liveable."
