Default Parking meters in Rugby

Free on-street parking is being abolished in Rugby town centre from October 2006 onwards. Instead we'll be getting pay-and-display machines in several streets costing visitors 20p for 30 mins or £1 for an hour. So what do the people of Rugby think about it? And to all the "outsiders", is this already happening in other parts of Warwickshire?

This has been going on in Stratford for a couple of years now, and it's just been changed to a similar charging structure to Rugby.
Since parking charges were introduced in Stratford, I've noticed a lot more empty shops in town.

It's nothing more than greed disguised as a traffic cutting policy. If they were serious about cutting traffic, there are far better ways to do it. It's nothing more then a revenue collecting device.

Will is absolutely correct. Just like speed cameras which have likely become a very lucrative form or revenue.

I read in the Stratford Herald a couple of months ago that Stratford District Council were £100,000 below budget for parking income (fees & fines) last financial year. Take heed Rugby....
