Dear editor,
In these uncertain times, the decision of the Council, to increase street parking and car park charges is at best: unfortunate.
Was any thought given, as to the effect on people and businesses? Top of the town, shops and businesses, already the neglected poor relation of Festival Place, needs a boost to try and rejuvenate the area. This could drive more customers away.
I hope people will continue to use the Top of the Town car parks, and businesses, despite the increased charges.
I would hate to hear from the Council, in the future, that the car parks are under used facilities, and are to be sold off to a developer.
