Drivers charged more for parking if they want to pay with cash
“There are hundreds of thousands of older people who depend on their cars but who don’t use computers. Hiking their parking costs is a disincentive to them getting out and about, and engaging fully in society.
“We know that councils are under huge financial pressure but we hope this one will reconsider its approach, which has the unfortunate effect of clobbering some older motorists more than everyone else.”

Patient left shocked over
Patient left shocked over state of parking at Devon hospital
Ah, Bruce that’s quite the roller-coaster ride you’ve taken me on there:
- I guess if you are a blue badge holder, I have to let the 5-minute car journey pass
- People who can’t manage a parking app, but are somehow perfectly safe to drive a car
- but you really lost me at “you can’t have a new hospital because cars”
- “When are you going to sort out the parking situation? There are at least two places where a multi-story car park could be built” – you know what, Brucey, my guess is hospital managers have got their hands full with providing the clinical service – what do you reckon? That said, there will be an Estates team managing the issue day to day, and who could probably tell you what the options are for things like multi-storey car parks are if you want to induce still more demand on to the site, but probably not where the money to do it would come from – in true driver style you have no clue about that, do you?

Beautiful Devon town rocked
Beautiful Devon town rocked as it fears impact of controversial revamp
Devon’s highways chief, Cllr Stuart Hughes said the proposals would make Queen Street a “more attractive, accessible, inclusive place for visitors and locals alike.” The leader of Teignbridge District Council, Cllr Martin Wrigley, acknowledged there is “some controversy” in Newton Abbot about the scheme, but said there is a “long history that shows pedestrianisation projects do improve the commerce in the street and the life of the street, and I think this is a change that needs to be done.”
Concerns though were raised by Cllr Janet Bradford, representing the South Devon Alliance. She said the view was that the changes would drive even more people to the out-of-town shopping centres, adding: “There’s absolutely no evidence that these plans will provide any benefit for either businesses or the users of Queen Street. But there is clear evidence in other towns that schemes to reduce convenient parking are very damaging.”
