Park and Ride Success

10th November 2006 - Martin Ray

This summer’s pilot MARKET DAY park and ride from West Bay succeeded in reducing visitor car journeys into town, freeing up town car-parks for locals. Highways Chairman Cllr Martin Ray said “People want the scheme to be extended next year”. He also welcomed support from other parties to advertise the Football Club car-park (50p for all day). Lib-Dem surveys show there were still spaces there even on the busiest summer Saturdays, although it is nearer to the market than Morrisons, which was always full.
