π¨ HELP US PROTECT RIVINGTON β HAVE YOUR SAY! π¨
We are asking our customers, local residents, visitors and everyone who loves Rivington to please take a few minutes to OBJECT to the proposed ANPR cameras and parking charges in Rivington.
π Planning application: 26/00668/FUL
β° Deadline for objections: 27th August 2026
This isnβt just about parking. It could have a huge impact on our community, local businesses, employees, suppliers and everyone who enjoys coming to Rivington.
Our family business has been part of the Rivington community for over 40 years and three generations. We employ local people, buy local produce, support local charities and artisans, and run community events such as our Christmas markets.
We genuinely believe that introducing parking charges could discourage people from visiting Rivington. For a small, family-run business like ours, a reduction in visitors could have a serious impact on our future and potentially mean having to reduce staff or, ultimately, threaten the future of the business.
π³ RIVINGTON WAS GIVEN TO THE PUBLIC
In 1902, Lord Leverhulme gifted Rivington to the public for public use and free open-air recreation.
Rivington has always been a place where people can come to walk, enjoy the countryside, breathe in the fresh air, meet friends and family and enjoy the outdoors.
We believe putting a financial barrier in place to access and enjoy this special area goes completely against the spirit of Lord Leverhulmeβs gift.
This isnβt just about our business. Itβs about Rivington as a community and a place for everyone.
βοΈ PLEASE OBJECT AND HAVE YOUR SAY
