Annual Parking Permit

The only car parks I use are, Surprise near Hathersage , Bakewell station and Parsley Hay. I only started using the Surprise car park because of the Pass, now I will not go there,
Maybe this is their plan?
Definitely will not be renewing.

I have had an annual pass for a few years and realistically my annual parking costs were less than £20. But I was happy to buy a permit at £40 for the convenience of when I visited my local reservoir, and to donate the rest. However I will absolutely not be paying nearly £80- no minor increase but nearly 100% in a year is ridiculous, regardless of the investment it will be used for.

Annual Parking Permit

Since the covid lock down ended there has been a sudden increase of around twice the usual number of visitors driving out into the Peak District resulting with car parks overflowing and cars being parked along grass verges causing soil erosion. The Park authorities had to act quickly and the obvious solution is to build more car parks. To do this they first have to raise the money, hence the 95% increase in the annual parking permit.
One man claims that the increase is too much for the same view. Take my word for it, it is never, ever the same view. You're not looking properly.
The Park needs protection, local wildlife must be protected at all costs. Dogs must be kept on a short lead to protect ground nesting birds.
On the road leading towards Fairholmes from the A57 Snake Road at Ashopton viaduct, we need a speed restriction along this section of 20mph to protect wandering sheep and newborn lambs, I mean who needs to drive quickly through this wonderful scenery.
The Peak Park Authority have to plan for the future, not next year or in 10 years but for 50 years to come which is a blink of an eye in geological terms.
I think in the future large car park will be built on the edge of the Peak District with certain roads closed off the to everyday traffic allowing only local residents and delivery vans passage. The ordinary person will then be expected to get on a "Jump on, jump off" trolley bus which will take passengers through The Peak Park and allow them to make their journey.
