Proposed Car Parking charges.

[Crosspatch]

I am surprised no one has yet posted their views on the proposed charges at Burbo Bank car park.

I think it is appalling that people who live in the district and pay rates here should be charged. Some concession could be made at least for local people. I was born here 82 years ago and have lived in Crosby all my life and one of my pleasures is to drive down there and enjoy the views etc.

42 years ago the Council had the same idea, that they would make lots of money charging to park on what was then known as "the coast erosion". A season ticket cost 5/- (I have the parking disk for 1968) but it didn't last as everyone stopped going there!

I suppose it is healthier long term if people learn to walk rather than drive, park and fill their faces. Not a particularly pleasant view anyway is it?
