  I've argued about the imposition of these double yellow lines Howard, but with no joy.
  
  I must admit I don't like the gradual but inexorable drive to double-yellow line all our roads.
  
  I can see the need for double yellow lines round certain road junctions, especially where buses have a problem and where sight-lines are not good, but even when we (Councillors - I guess others do tyoo ?) go through the proper channels, it's rare that our views are taken on board.
  
  It is true that businesses are suffering - in a big way, but will anyone listen ? I doubt it. Is there a case around the Country where parking charges have been reduced ? I thought not.
  
  I would like our (Dover Loyalty Scheme) Dover Town members to agree to refund car-park charges when people spend a certain amount in their shop (say £15 or more) - but I can't get agreement; some say yes, some say no, some can't decide, so I've not carried it through.
  
  I do believe it would help a lot though - greater spend and footfall - it could be offered instead of a discount.
