I've been made to drive wife and daughter to a retail park on the edge of the town.
It's absolutely mental.

I'm sitting in the car - I refuse to engage with shopping unless I have to.

The car park is full and cars are circling for spaces. Dazed people are dragging bleary eyed children around […]

Mr Clark said: “When you have retail parks on the edge of town with free parking and online shopping where people aren’t having to park anywhere, it is unfair to charge customers who want to go into the town centre to shop.”

Start of Edinburgh Reporter article about proposals to charge for town centre car parking in Haddington Councillors behind plans to introduce parking charges in an East Lothian town centre have been given the red card by angry residents. More than 100 people attended a community meeting on Thursday to share their views on proposals to introduce meters as part of a county wide move by the local authority to manage parking in towns. The audience were handed green and red cards to hold up after questions were answered to show their support or rejections of the answers given. And Provost John McMillan, who made the case for the council’s proposals found himself faced with a sea of red cards in response to his comments during the meeting.

🤔 If #ScotGov is genuine about the value of #towncentres
why haven't they yet introduced an #OutOfTown #RetailPark car-space levy?
