I've written to the Peak District National Park objecting to Yorkshire Water's plans to charge Langsett Barn Car Park visitors and the installation of payment machines&ANPR camera. Langsett is a local treasure and Yorkshire Water haven't adequatly consulted on these proposals, excluding our communities from having our say.

The introduction of the proposed parking charges would have detrimental effects on the homes and businesses in Langsett, having an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the Langsett Conservation Area and listed buildings because of displaced parking. The Car Park at the Flouch will also be affected by Yorkshire Water’s proposals.

The planning application is contrary to the Peak District Core Strategy document. It will also risk Highway Safety and increase nuisance parking on the A616. Further, that displaced parking from Langsett Barn Car Park, to outside these businesses, will restrict the trade of The Waggon and Horses Pub and Bank View Café by preventing customers from being able to park near to their premises.

I am also concerned that the livelihoods of The Waggon and Horses Pub and Bank View Café, along with Ye Old Mustard Pot and the Dog and Partridge, will be at risk as fewer people will travel to Langsett Reservoir and use these facilities as part of their trip. Further, I am worried that Yorkshire Water, as a public body, have failed to carry out an adequate consultation on these proposals, excluding voices of our communities.
