A public consultation meeting to hear about Cotswold District Council's proposals to expand the capacity of the Waterloo Car Park in Cirencester has had a change of venue.

The meeting for local residents will be held from 3.30 pm to 6.30 pm at the Bingham Gallery, 1 Dyer Street, Cirencester, on Tuesday 27 June and not Bingham Hall as previously stated.

The event will enable the public to meet council officials and review information boards which illustrate why consultants have shown that the most effective way to increase car parking capacity is to install decking at the Waterloo.

Cllr Mark Harris, chair of the Cirencester Parking Project, said: "It is important that we demonstrate why our consultants recommended that the Waterloo is the best option for a decked car park in the town.

"This proposal will require planning permission and the public will have a chance to comment, but it makes sense to consult now at a very early stage so that we can explain our rationale and gather views from the public which can then influence the design stage.

"Whilst we know there is a lot of support for more parking in the town, we understand that some people may have some concerns about the proposal and this drop-in session should enable everyone to have their say - and for us to gain a true understanding of what these concerns are so we can try and address them."
