| Re: car park charges going up around devon Hi Folks, This is a general trend. Councils are now out to make as much money as they can, and unlucky we the motorists, are the fall guys all the time. Where I fish from at Mudeford the car park used to be free over the winter period but now charge £2. The summer charge has now gone up from £6 per day to £8. One good thing about Mudeford you can stay overnight for your £8, OK if you have a motorhome. Cheers __________________ All that Glitters is not Gold Secretary of The Blandford Sea Angling Club |

| Re: car park charges going up around devon The thing I really hate about parking around Torbay / South Hams is that they only have machines that require coins. Used the Dartmouth Park & Ride when I was down there last. Didn't have change, tried the adjoining leisure centre which I assume is owned by the same council and they aren't allowed to give change. Ended up having to walk to the petrol station to buy something I didn't need just to get change. Same happened at Brixham breakwater, who actually carries £7 in loose change with them? They should at least have machines that take notes if not cards!!! |
