    In today's Barnsley Chronicle, there is an article which quotes Steve Houghton saying the council are going to build houses on the Courthouse Car Park. Finding somewhere to park in Barnsley is hard enough on match days, without the loss of 800 parking places.

    Probably selling off to recoup money from the Glassworks fiasco. But wait, where are all these Glassworks patrons going to park?

    Makes you laugh.

    Seems reasonably well thought out.

    Most places seem to have the same issue anyway. Leeds has been replacing car parks by more buildings without adding more parking as well. On top of that they've extended some of the parking permit zones outwards. So parking for commuters is getting worse, although they've added some park & rides.

    I suppose Barnsley is just a bit too small for a park & ride though.

    I use the one at top end of Pitt Street (next to old churchyard) through the week and it's free at weekend. Plenty of spaces.

    Not quite true. Two zones, limited to 3 hours in white zone only, unlimited in red.

    I have no time for Thatcher but she isn't responsible for the same useless numpties being re-elected to Barnsley Council time after time after time. The solution to that lies a lot closer to home.

    Would be a big mistake in the town, if no additional multistory parking is planned. Local retailers have it hard enough competing with Leeds and Meadowhall.

    Are these zones equal in size? I suppose the problem with that is everyone would go unlimited if they are available even if they don't expect to be 3 hours, just in case.
