I THOUGHT it was only Tootles that had lost his marbles but it appears that this so called council has as well.
They came up with the idea that if they made parking free after 3pm during the week and all day Saturday and Sunday it would entice people to come and do their shopping in this town of ours.
Alas, unless you have the quality and amount of shops like Warrington, Widnes and Wigan you are flogging a dead horse.
So now they are planning to scrap this scheme and put price increases in place. A sure fire way of driving even more people out of town to do their shopping. It really does beggar belief.
