Last year’s change to just one-hour free between 8am and 8pm Monday to Saturday was designed to encourage more turnover at short-stay parks to theoretically benefit the likes of retailers. The free CBD on-street parking is due to be phased out completely next year.
Did the shorter free parking period change how much you go to the CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
