2016-04-09 22:49:07 I cannot see any good reason to introduce parking charges. Why waste money installing and operating meters, employing people to administer them, and causing inconvenience to people who will have to mess about finding change for meters.
It would be far more cost effective to just increase council tax by £1 per house in poole, which would probably raise an extra £50000 per year. Most people would rather pay a very small increase in council tax than have to mess about with parking meters, which are a very expensive way of collecting tax.
