A lesson to other Councils

I expect the pressure to be increased to follow Coventry Council's lead and show the same business acumen ... especially those areas whose businesses suffer because of the proximity of free parking out of town shopping malls.

Sunderland councillors ... just consider how much business is lost to the Galleries and the Metro Centre.

SHOPPERS will get free parking in the run up to Christmas to encourage into Coventry city centre after councillors agreed the scheme.

If it was anything like Bedford a few years ago, it will be a total balls up. All the shop & office staff had the car parks filled before 0830 & bugger the shoppers. They didn't get a look in!!!!

What you need is free parking after 1000.

How on earth could you possibly know whether it was office workers and shop staff who were taking advantage of free parking?

I will be going to Coventry this year, just to make a point and support what is right, even though the petrol wil cost me more than the ticket locally.

Unfortunately, Coventry shops will benefit from my hundreds of pounds, my local shops won't because the Council is crap.
