Parking & High Street Trade

In the very same week Old hill traders complain that Sandwell Labour's new parking charges may affect trade


I see the Merry Hill centre is having a massive trade boost with 1000's waiting for the shops to open
One thing to remember is Merry Hill's car parking is FREE


Sandwell Tory said
Well folks West Bromwich was once a thriving town called the golden mile, then the changes started followed by the exodus of traders, I feel so sorry for the traders of Old Hill,

If the Government has said Councils can scrap parking charges

If the Portas High Street review advised parking charges was a problem and said

They are recognised as important hubs of social interaction and providers of employment and local commerce 
 
So I ask
What is it with parking in Sandwell ?

Doesn't Sandwell Labour get it?

  1. It should come as no real surpise if you are of a certain age. As a Boy and Young Man I remember Shopping In Bearwood, once Smewthwickls Premier Shopping Area. There was n need to visit the City for Good Quality if we wanted the Department Stores, M&S, Littlewoods, we caught the 220 or 221 to West Bromwich. But alas along came Sandwell Labour they wiped out Bearwood so now they are working on West Bromwich. What do you expect?
