I am absolutely incensed by the fact that there is no longer anywhere locally I can park in a designated car park as I don't have a smart phone. I cannot shop at Sainsbury's (which is a large public car-park behind the actual store which houses the trolleys, etc. and is known as Sainsbury's car park although not exclusive to), in Hayes or West Wickham High Streets or general car park off. Not that I have been there but I gather parking which used to be 70p is now 90p and there is no longer the facility to put money in for twenty minutes, has to be the hour. One car park (very close to me) has been closed for building to start for 30+ units (2 parking spots and a cycle bay), how on earth do they expect local businesses to flourish with all these new restrictions. A lot of people are aged or just cannot walk with heavy bags to their cars - should they be able to find a spot on nearby residential roads (without yellow lines) to park which is unlikely.
Makes me so angry, this 'I'm alright Jack, it's progress' attitude.
