    In case anyone hasnt seen it yet, the multi story will no longer be free at weekends so don't use it for Oakwell (from the Charlton game)

    A £1 for 3 hours? Cheaper than a bus

    It won’t stop there though they will increase across the board possibly driving folk away from the town centre to the likes of cottonwood or parkgaye where there is free parking

    Magic word there is 'possibly'!
    Our car parks are packed in Liverpool - far higher prices than a £1!

    Tbh those prices are reasonable compared to most other towns. And actually work out cheaper on weekdays in some cases, if for example up to 1hr. Off street parking. £2 now £1 after

    The charges showing 23/24 prices in off street parking are incorrect. Eg 2hrs £2, 3-5 hrs £3.
    I remember Paying stupid prices in Donny 20 yrs ago. More than what you'd pay in Barnsley today. Or when they change.

    Increases? If I go to town for an hour, and I'm rarely there longer, then it's cheaper. And if I'm in for two hours cos I get something to eat, then it's the same. Unless I'm there on a weekend when it's still free. And the maximum charge per day has dropped.
