'They're putting the cart before the horse.' Residents slam new town centre parking plans
In today's free for all Ink, Jamie Hill discusses the proposed changes to town centre car parking prices, which will see an increase to £2.50 for the first hour with reductions on current pricing if you stay longer. Businesses and residents claim that rather than enticing people to visit the beleaguered town centre it will actually make shoppers stay away as there simply isn't the offering there yet for people to stay longer. In her monthly column resident Ink poet Deborah Raikesmay writes a wonderful Valentines poem for Swindon.
