Pay to park

The city council is poised to take control of the Pear Tree, Redbridge and Seacourt sites from the county council, which says it no longer can afford to run them.

And the city council has warned that the return of parking fees to cover the £700,000 annual running costs looks inevitable.

It is perhaps unsurprising in the current climate that fees are coming back. A £1 charge is something we hope people are willing to pay, while other services face cuts.
