| So the "consultation" was a sham! Would you know Jonathan if it's pay and display or pay on exit. The reason I ask is that I do use the park quite a bit but never really know how long I want to be there...it could be half an hour or 3 hours. I'd hate to pay up-front for 3hrs parking then an hour into my walk it starts chucking it down and I'm forced to beat a hasty retreat back to my car. Obviously pay and display wouldn't suit a person like me. Will be interesting to see how much per hour they will be charging. If it's a token amount (30p or something) then no harm done, but if it's £1 or over then a 3 hour walk becomes pricey and yet another hitherto free Great British institution becomes a mere money-spinner for another Quango. Or will they use the revenue to improve the dreadfully cratered car parks? And no, I strongly suspect there will be not be any improvement to public transport services. |
