Councillors weigh up parking fees reaction

Shropshire Star

Controversial new car parking charges in north Shropshire could be given the go-ahead in September despite angry reaction from firms.
North Shropshire District Council is proposing to introduce the new charges in Whitchurch, Wem and Ellesmere.
Some business owners and residents have reacted angrily to the scheme, claiming it could kill trade in the market towns.
People were asked for their views on the proposals, and their responses are currently being compiled by council officers.
Their recommendations will be put before the council’s cabinet on August 8, but the full council will have the final say on September 5.
