If the Council do go ahead with these increases I hope they include some ” specials” in the run up to Christmas. There are many alternatives Free Sundays, Free Late Nights ( Thursdays) , Early Bird ( free before 10 am), Free After Three on all car parks on Mondays in December, are just a few suggestions. The Christmas trading period is vital to many businesses survival and parking charges do play a part in where people go, Broughton and Cheshire Oaks are both free!
