Bath Road Traders, Cheltenham

BaRTa Meetings are first Wednesday of each month at the Brown Jug Inn.

With the recession (or at any time) it is important to keep trade in the Local Community. The Traders on the Bath Road are nearly all members or our community. They live here, work here and are neighbours of the street. Wages and profits are spent back in our Local Area, not to shareholders on the other side of the world.

The car park is constantly under threat. We all understand recycling, but the number of spaces used for this in the *Shopper Car Park* has grown and grown.

The Car parking fees should be kept to encourage and make shopping easier.  It should not be used for all day parking.

The opinions expressed here are not necessarily those of BaRta, or all of its members.
