antrin Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I noticed Glasgow is going to extend parking charges to - 7 days a week up till 10.00pm at night. I thought Paisley’s High Street and town shopping, pub and restaurant businesses were being helped by the 3 hours currently available, now it seems to be changing to resemble the punitive Glesca version. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv273dx3y45o One hour free parking!? How can people who are less mobile make that work for them? How about shop workers who don’t live on a bus service route? This alleged “plan” understandably concerns Buddie businesses.

Do what I do Just leave a tenner under the window wiper works everytime for me.. saves paying those extortionate parking fees £2 a day in some car parks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely leaving a £10 note under your wiper will just be picked up by a passerby? Do you leave your car for 5 days then? 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albanian Buddy Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 (edited) The council is running at a loss so every penny is a prisoner. This however is short sighted in terms of increasing footfall to the town. It only means more people with cars will go to the out of town retail centres.

Callum Gilhooley Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Council needs to build up the coffers after spunking zillions on the Museum ( if it ever opens) Town hall & the High street Library . 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
