If the amount of time that each motorist could park for free between 8am -1.00pm was limited to, say, 30 mins in every 2 hours or some such similar restriction then local residents and traders wouldn't be able to park there all the morning would they? Might such a time restriction encourage turnover of those needing to drive and park cars in order to do some quick shopping in the town centre? It ...
