The announcement is not a surprise I suppose but disappointing nonetheless.

I understand the need to raise revenues but this move could be misjudged. Gunnersbury Park bordered by the north circular and the M4 doesn't have the number of walk in local users that other London parks do so lots of people drive. Generally I will go at the same time as a visit to the Stirling Road dump and probably a couple of quid for parking won't stop me but I suspect there are a lot of regular park users for whom it might prove a major discouragement. Not sure what the deal is with the share of the F&B revenue but if that falls the increase of revenue from parking might not be as great as projected.

Also I wasn't aware that commuter parking was a particular issue here. Admittedly I rarely go during the week but the car park is only ever close to be full on a particularly sunny day at the weekend in my experience.

Not sure what they are planning to do about access to the car park but the current narrow entrance and dangerous exit onto Popes Lane is going to cause issues unless something is done, particularly when the sports hub is fully up and running.

Also the move probably means that weekend parking restrictions will have to be introduced in adjacent streets. Not great news for Actonians sports club.
