Councillor Bodfish says increased parking charges are intended to reduce the number of cars in the city centre. How does he square that with allowing Sainsbury's and Tesco to have their superstores in the centres of Brighton and Hove respectively?
The traffic in New England Street is already bad, yet the Sainsbury development can only add to the congestion and pollution.
It would also seem increasing the cost of parking in Blatchington Road, Hove, is making it more expensive to shop there. It is cheaper to park long term than short term.
This must inevitably drive shoppers to the Tesco car park which is free, provided that £5 is spent in their superstore.
