I WENT to the Playhouse last Friday and parked as usual in the Grove Park Car Park. I note that the Council have kept last year's parking fees but have changed the parking periods.
Last year to park from 7 - 11pm it cost �1.10 as payment until 8pm. After that it was free.
From April 1 to park from 7 - 11pm costs �3 as payment until 10pm. After that it is free until 8am. The council have obviously realised that the car park is well used in the evening especially by those attending the Playhouse. What a rip off.
An increase of nearly 175 per cent is not reasonable for a service which is designed to keep our parking off the roads.
Come on Council put the parking period back to where it was last year.
