CLASSIFIED adverts spreading over five pages and relating to parking (Echo, Aug 24) highlight another nail in the coffin of Darlington town centre.
When will someone bang the heads together of the overpaid brains in the Town Hall that to restrict parking throughout the town only causes great damage to business by putting off people shopping in Darlington.
There is a solution – make the whole of the town a two-hour free parking zone. The pittance lost on parking charges would be rewarded in increased business turnover and make the town a more attractive place to spend hard-earned money.
