I have just been talking to a shop manager just off Eddisbury Square but still within that set of shops who said that they had paid towards improvements for that car park yet their customers were not allowed to park there cos they would not be allowed to leave the square. Customers to the shop had become almost non existent. She also said that each shop in the square were given multiple parking permits so that the people who worked there could park there. I thought the idea was to keep it free for customers.
Seems to me like the company who run this parking "racket "have ridden roughshod over the situation, done no reseach and not given the needs of the town any thought at all. Their "lets get in there and make some money"attitude is killing Frodsham's trade right off. Parasites in the natural world are not so stupid, at least they normally keep their host alive.
This needs careful thought and consideration. Do we need another small version of a big store in Frodsham? Why can't we have a full size supermarket just outside the village and smal individuall shops in the centre. Making the centre of town a proper tourist attraction. At the moment we are neither nowt nor sumat! Are we a town with village facilities? The population and money we have here should surely support better facilities than we have.Things could be so much better with thought and planning.
