A protest march over a imposition of a 20 pence an hour (free evenings and on Sundays) on a car park? Cllr Steve van de Kerkhove has also set a Facebook Group to "carry on this protest".
This is just plain silly.
Cllr Bates does make a few points. One I made before. If keeping the car park is so important why hasn't the Town Council stepped in? If the retailers are so worried why don't they take over the car park? The main reason why they won't is "free" car parks are expensive to run and neither wants the cost.
Cllr Bates also points out the costs are currently paid by the Council Taxpayer. I point out that it costs Fenland DC £410,000 to run their "free car parks". The HDC car parks subsidise the Council Tax.
