Questions raised to West Berkshire Council over Aldermaston station parking – after prices go up

Rail travellers are parking on the roads instead of Aldermaston Station car park since the prices went up.

“Since GWR introduced charges in both their car parks at Aldermaston Station, rail travellers have been parking in every available space in Station Road, Aldermaston Wharf, causing considerable inconvenience to nearby residents,” said Dominic Boeck (Con, Aldermaston).

And he now wants the council to take action over the matter.

“For example, one young family with small children are consistently unable to park within a reasonable distance from their home, which severely affects their wellbeing and the quality of their lives," he added. "Residents , Beenham and Aldermaston Parish Councils and I have persistently asked highways to address this problem, without success.”

The council's executive committee did not openly discuss the matter.
