Parking

I saw Gareth Ratcliffe in the market square on Thursday, with a map covered table, like a general planning a campaign. He was handing out questionnaires to find out what local people think is needed by way of parking reform - residents' parking? new car park (and if so, where?)? changes in waiting restrictions? changes in the overnight free parking times?
He wants to know - and hopefully he'll then be able to make something coherent out of all the answers!

It’s strange that before Powys County Council took over the parking administration in Hay that the town seemed to be mostly satisfied with the way the police authorities and their parking warden/s dispensed the traffic laws.
All this fuss has occurred because the wardens have been directed to be over zealous by our County Council officials and members, especially on the zones where parking times are limited.
One of the questions on the survey doesn’t make sense. It asks “Is a larger town centre car park needed?” The only car park in the centre of town is in Castle Square! Many people are asking which car park does this mean? Oxford Road is hardly in the centre of town!!
