  • Neil Rogers says 'is not convinced' by the report. 'sometimes you have to say we have got it wrong' suggests that needs to happen today #

  • Oooh, scrutiny comittee and exec committee has had paragraphs added to gloss the issue. Free after 3 in chester not in wrex. #
  • Apparently council report says parking charges 'increases consumer confidence' and saves energy. Laughable! #
  • 'wrexham shopping tax' is label given to it. Council cant spend rev generated on anything but carpark and related stuff! #
  • Agenda for parking moved forward, Lesley Taylor now speaking saying 21 empty stalls and more empty shops. #
  • Selection of local traders and landlords here however due to the short notice period only one can speak… #
  • Pretty packed meeting at Wrexham Guild Hall for the parking charges meeting. Cameras allowed before meeting but not during. #
