Shopkeepers in Penzance protest against high car parking charges

[Busaholic]

I've just got home from North Devon after a few days camping up there with the kids.
In Barnstaple I paid £1.60 for 24 hours in a North Devon council car park.
In Ilfracombe it was a flat £1 an hour rate with a maximum daily charge.
Both town centres were very busy.

Thank you for that info - more ammunition for our campaign. Our main problem is having a unitary council, so decisions on car park rates can be made by a majority of councillors representing areas fifty or more miles from us, and having no knowledge of our circumstances. Localism schmocalism.
