Similar thing but street parking. A proper, family run carpet shop near me. Traded for years. The council thought it a great idea to charge £2 for street parking outside. The poor bloke offers to refund customers the money but so many who don't know that, dont call in.There is a village we used to call in on the way to Pembrokeshire, let the dogs on the beach and go and have a meal in the pub....then some bright spark on the council decided to go all techie and install a fancy ticket machine and app etc etc. We now go somewhere else and a few months ago the village was on TV complaining about the loss of business. Keep it simple stupid.
Councils......fucking hate them, jobs for life and justifying a wage. We've had the drive outside work tarmaced, 2 guys 2 days to do the job...took 3 councilors with clip boards and cameras and several hours of talking about it to open the road...." ffs lads, just open the road I'm loosing business here and you lot will still be expecting your rates at the end of the year ". As someone said, like rusty rifles....dont work, cant fire them.Similar thing but street parking. A proper, family run carpet shop near me. Traded for years.

As I said in an earlier post, councils are worse than private.
Some car parks have also been sending bills to drivers who arrive and leave straightaway as there are no empty spaces.There is a car park in Durham City that has been logging the reg no's of cars that are simply passing on the road, The owners then get a letter saying they didn't pay for their visit to the car park.
Especially if it's on undercooked pastry - OMG!Watery gravy
There's no excuse
