I can’t understand why the council don’t start charging to park at Ty Mawr and Alyn Waters. Visitors are genuinely surprised that they don’t have to pay anything.
£2 a day or a yearly ticket for £50, it’s not a lot and this cost would more than pay for the upkeep of the parks.
The Canal Trust have recently submitted plans for a paid car park at Trevor Basin, it’s ludicrous that the council aren’t doing the same.
What the council is suggesting is that 3 rangers will keep 11 parks open. As the rangers work a 5 day week it will mean that for 6 days a week there will only be 2 of them. How exactly is that going to work ?
The next thing will be closing the parks as there aren’t enough rangers to cover them.
