Attitudes to Motorcycle Parking Charges

MAG is asking riders for their opinions on the question of motorcycle parking charges.
Motorcycle parking provision is often not well supported by local authorities.  We are witnessing an increasing movement amongst local authorities to explore the introduction of motorcycle parking charges in council car parks.  Commercially run car parks often have no/sparse motorcycle bays.  Those provided are often poor-quality.
The overall picture is a patchy, sub-standard solution for motorcycle parking in the UK.
With more charging schemes being proposed and implemented we want to gather opinion on the subject and determine whether there is a route that provides fit for purpose and secure parking as the norm in return for proportionate motorcycle parking charges.
