Leeds United fans are upset with the recent disclosure that parking rates are soon to rise. Elland Road parking will now cost £6; coaches will cost £20 and minibuses £12, during match days.
Parking is an angry issue, with Leeds United fans claiming that the Council is bleeding them dry with parking rates and making it impossible to park near the grounds. Many say that they will simply use side streets and walk a lot farther rather than grant Leeds Council satisfaction.
Parking costs all over Leeds are on the rise, not just during match days on Elland Road. A complaint letter was sent by one irate citizen saying that the Council had closed seven inexpensive long-term parking facilities and was now going to bash him with higher charges when he wants to watch football.
It seems that for many, the increases on match days were just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Dissatisfaction with parking facilities and the high cost of parking in general has apparently been boiling on the back burner with residents for some time.
