Out of Touch, Out of Control
18 Oct 2012
The Folkestone Herald reports this week that retailers in Folkestone Town Centre are reporting a huge drop in takings since new on-street parking charges were introduced last month.
When that was put to Council Leader Robert Bliss, he is reported as saying:
"I am amazed that they (traders) can blame parking for a change in turnover."
Off. The. Planet. How could it not?
I suppose Robert doesn't have a problem parking in the area. Double yellow lines have no pesky meters...
