The council finally reversed the Sunday parking charges. It has been a long and draining struggle but I am relieved that we forced them to listen. Keep watching to ensure they actually follow through on this commitment.

Reaching this point has been a long and draining road. Seeing this level of frustration reflected here proves that we are right to demand better for our local shops.

it's time that the council realise that people are staying away. As a pensioner we do not have endless sums of money.
Once again it is the local people of St.Albans who have to suffer at the ever increasing charges and cutbacks. No regular reliable buses and now charging for parking - anyone would think that they want our town centre to be a ghost town!
I used to be a regular Sunday shopper when free parking was available but now I rarely visit.
Visitors to St Albans need to stay longer than most shoppers. These charges are enough to deter many and show the City as a non-welcomimg place. Also many people prefer to shop on Sunday, combining this with a liesurely look at some of our 'heritage' attractions.
I usuly come into St Albans by bus ( using my over 60s bus pass)to avoid parking charges, but there are no buses on a Sunday! If there is a charge for car parking on Sundays, I just won't come into St Albans at all
Once again Councils all over the land are introducing charges for services which were previously free. Worse still the charge has not brought with it any improvement or additional benefit with the service. No one monitors your car for thieves or protects it from vandals. You are getting no value for the money paid.
Please support your cities economy.

The Ver Valley Sopciety has spent thousands on developing walks along the Ver based on Westminsrter Lodge which have been much used. Shame to discourage this after the council supportrred it with noticeboards and path improvements
