Sandwell Labour's obsession with the car
strikes again, this time its Great Bridge traders who are claiming
up to a 70% drop in trade under the new parking rules.
Great Bridge on a sunny market day (mind the Queue)
just up the road a massive car park has been dormant
for years since the council closed it
Yes following on from Labour's
disastrous doubling of parking charges in West Bromwich, its High
street already devoid of business's was given a further kick in the teeth, now the council is repaving
the pedestrian area in front of rows of empty shops, at a cost of
£millions.
Labour now seems to want to spread the
misery around the other towns in the borough, Blackheath, Cradley Heath and Old hill
traders have complained and got nowhere
meanwhile some councils have seen the
light and try to help local businesses by lowering or scrapping parking charges
Staffordshire car parking fees cut to
10p
Charges will not be introduced on free
on-street parking bays in Cannock town
Charges cut to lure Walsall shoppers http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2013/08/12/car-parking-charges-cut-to-lure-walsall-shoppers/
but over in Sandwell ?
the news is "Car park charges are sent rocketing"
Sandwell Tory said
Well done Labour, traders say your parking policy is a total mess
