The park and ride has been one of the most successful projects of recent years. One has only to arrive after 9 a.m. to see that nearly all the spaces are occupied and this for most of the day.

The answer to whether to pay for the facility is an easy one – there has to be a charge for its use. Why should anyone expect others to support their parking space? We have had a long honeymoon period and now it is time to start making a contribution towards the running costs.

Hopefully when the long awaited bus reorganisation comes into fruition, people would start using that alternative. No doubt there are too many vehicles continuously heading towards our capital city. Trying to find another free alternative area should not be an option as it would just add another traffic management problem.
