Carer you answered your own question because folk have to walk. You can get a monthly permit for the Barton car park it works out at about £1.15 per day.
Why not charge for overnight parking say £3.00 and those who attend line dancing etc would get a permit to park free a meter could be instaled and employ a clamping company to enforce the parking. They could also use the same system used on motorway services to enforce the 2 hour max stay Parking Eye manage these car parks as they do with supermarket car parks. The CO OP car park has a sytem ...
It's been a problem for as long as i can remember the problem is folk dont want to walk. I live in the town centre and park my car up the bartons a nice daily walk keeps the old ticker going.
You can build as many cycle paths and run as many buses as you want but folk will not give up there cars its how it is and nothing will change.
I wonder what percentage of folk use public transprt? The reason i ask is the last time i used a train or bus was probably 50 years ago.
It looks to me that the service is little used after 1600 so why not reduce buses to one every hour or as Lynne has mentioned a small bus, mini bus service. Stagecoach at the moment recieve a subsidy i presume that covers the cost of running the service once that goes they will cut the service, they know what buses are profitable from ticket sales. Now we tend to take it for granted there will ...
Yes i know that but why should we i dont get subsidised for running my car, have just watched 6 buses pass my home with a total head count of 12 two were empty that cannot be sustainable and its wrong on so many levels. We have large heavy buses running empty polluting the air we breath and damaging our roads, so i ask again would anyone provide a bus service and lose money i know i wouldn't.
I made a point at looking at all the buses passing my home yesterday from 1600 to 0015 and 40% were empty the rest had no more than 10 passengers. So we pay our taxes to have empty double deckers running round is it not the same old story if you dont use the service you lose it. Now i know the importance of a good bus service but the operators don't care about that all they want is profit because ...
They are calling it wait for it THE DAWLISH LINK they make it sound as though we have been cut of for the past 100 years.
Are you serious, if you drink or smoke, are we all not aware of the negative impact that may have on our lives. Now those who choose to do drugs are also aware of the results that drug taking can have. They know that drugs have a negative impact on health. But apart from that those who take drugs, not all but a good percentage, fund their habit through crime. Now I would like to see them gone ...
