I made the proposal which was one of the recommendations from our planning workshop earlier this year. The idea is not really to increase parking for residents but to increase parking for shoppers and visitors to the swimming pool. Perry Vale car park is currently under utilised but should be an asset for the town centre.
However the current plans are likely to be submitted without any reference to footbridges, in fact if the plans are accepted then it is unlikely that there would be room for a footbridge.
