    The Council were happy to put the parking prices up, but I see they are not so quick to do anything about the parking machines that do not work properly or indeed do not work at all.

    Castle Street:
    The meter outside the old night club has not worked for months. (Right opposite the Council Office) Yet people still get a parking fine if they do not display a ticket. Just how does a visitor to the town know there is another machine 200 yards further back up Castle Street.

    Stembrook Car Park:
    The machine at the St Mary's Church end has not worked correctly for years and I mean years. You put coins in the machine and it takes some, others just drop through. If you have just the right amount of change you can stand there for ever while you keep trying to get the dam thing to take your money.

    If the Council can take the extra money for parking why can they not supply parking machines that work. A fault for a day or so is one thing but when it's for months and years and people get parking fines for it, then it's not a joke.

    Oh and if in this year of 2008 when technology is so high, could we not get parking machines that give change or the correct amount of time for the full amount of money paid.
