[bassett one]

a disgrace should be free in the city centre to entice shoppers.

All that would happen is the people who work in town would fill the spaces...

And people wonder why shoppers go to meadowhell and not town ?

 

Why do people insist that a very small parking charge is enough to have them drive an extra 25 minutes to park for free?

Depends where you're starting from as to whether it's 25 mins more or 25 mins less....

Don't expect facts to stop people ranting about city centre parking!

True, but if it were closer in the first place then it's not the parking that is attracting people.

If parking in the city centre, which this rise doesn't affect, is so expensive then why aren't there many empty spaces?

So saving a few quid on parking will make you go somewhere else?

Everyones looking the other way towards the general election :mad:

 

I called it when they put in the hunters bar parking tickets.

 

"Its only 20p" was many people's response.

Because there is already insufficient parking provision for the people who want to shop in town and those who also work there.

Make it a maximum stay of say, two hours then.
