‘Sign to save Matlock Bath Coach Park’ – RHA Coaches

RHA Coaches is urging all operators to sign a petition to save Matlock Bath Coach Park, which may be turned into a traveller site.

“Following up on the closure of Matlock Bath coach park, we’re informed that the matter of providing temporary sites for travellers is to be discussed at a meeting of Derbyshire Dales District Council on 9 December,” said Andy Warrender, Operations Manager – Coaches. “There are six sites which were consulted on, one of which is the coach park, and we’re told that a decision on which of the sites will be designated for travellers is likely to be made at that meeting.

“A petition that has been raised by Matlock Bath Parish Council who have been campaigning for the coach park to be restored – https://matlockbathparishcouncil.gov.uk/restore-our-coach-car-park/”

Andy says that it’s intended to present the petition to Councillors at, or ahead of the meeting to evidence the support for coach parking and has been asked by the Parish Council to support a final push to gather as many signatures as possible.

“We’d be grateful if your readers could sign the petition and help restore the coach park, and in the process make a very bold statement that the industry will not take further erosion of facilities lightly.”
