    The Council are pleading a severe lack of money and are in the process of making swingeing cuts to the services they provide. Yet we see them installing live parking information signs. Trade in the town would have been better served by retaining the current parking charges rather than frittering away money on unnessary signs that will cost annual additional money to maintain them.

    I imagine the counters will read zero once the parking charge increases come into effect. An excellent investment :).

    I wonder what the Council think the signs will achieve?

    Is that what those thick black poles that were put up in May are meant to hold? Noticed them going up in various places from St Giles way to the library.

    Wouldn’t it have made more sense to put them on the main roads into town rather than in the middle of it?

    Exactly what I was thinking, people need to know on their way into town which car park to head for, not when they are stuck in traffic right in the middle.

    I would like to know how these things are going to work, without a barrier in/out system, how are they going monitor how full each car park is ? More importantly, how much is this white elephant going to cost to run & maintain ?

    Another waste of money WCBC.

    They are making cuts yet wasting our money. I know where the cuts should be made starting with the managers at the highway.s dept

    And they’ll be like every other town that has them, inaccurate, need repairing which the council won’t be able to afford till eventually they will be switched off.

    It looks like they’ve been installing Inductive loop detection systems at the car park entrances – look for a square of black lines around the entrance.

    It looks like this (the lines on the floor), but outlined with black tar instead.

    Taith funded apparently – not Eagles Meadow , although they get the benefit of the signs…!
