01/10/08 - High prices are to blame for fall in parking income

EDITOR - Coun Colin Davie blames the poor state of Skegness for a fall in car parking revenue on the foreshore, nothing to do with the rise to park on the seafront car parks to £6.
Bridlington charge £5 to park and in the centre of Beverley it is £3.50.
We have watched all summer long cars drive in the car park and back out when they see the price.
When the foreshore traders heard East Lindsey District Council planned to put the price up, we wrote in and said it would lose revenue by doing this, and look what as happened £200,000 down.
They tell us that the change machines have been taken out of the toilets to protect the staff, so now who empties the turnstile?
Why not put the money straight in the change machine from the turnstile, then it never leaves the building or is that too simple?
D Brookes
Chairman of the foreshore traders' association
