Parking charges
19/08/2008 by admin.
The muddled thinking of the week award goes to the Environmental Transport Association who sent me a press release in which director Andrew Davis said: “Our own research revealed that in most cases parking is subsidised - the land used for the car parks would be worth more if it was used for something else such as office space. In other words, cars pay less than desks!”
“Local businesses often object to parking charges, but the car park that is constantly full because it is too cheap is not bringing custom to local shops.”
eh?????
