Parking in Horsell to avoid expensive Woking car parks

I was down at the bottom end of Horsell Moor recently and saw the terrible state of the edge of the ground around the sports field and down to the squash club and junction with Arthurs Bridge Road. Cars have driven all along the area, some have really churned up the earth. There is no grass here at all, just mud. It really is an awful mess. This is a popular areas for commuters to park and walk into Woking.

Cars are also parked all along the road here, which at least means they are not blocking up residential roads and preventing people parking near their homes.

I can understand why people park their cars out of the town centre. It is just so expensive to park in Woking now. For somebody working a 5 day week you are talking about a cost of £8 per day or £40 a week. Add to that the ever increasing cost of petrol and its a huge chunk of many people's salary.

Now I am all for encouraging less car use and more cycling and walking but its not always possible for all sorts of reasons.

Perhaps Woking Council should look at another type of car parking provision. I wonder if there is any spare land on the Kestrel Way industrial estate where parking could be provided at low cost and a minbus service could bring workers into the town centre?
