I have some concerns regarding policy of reducing long term parking in the smaller town centres. Often public transport is poor intra these settlements and, therefore, people will drive to their final detination or, to use the more regular inter settlement buses, people will go to the vicinity of the terminus and park there. Due to reluctance to pay parking charges they end up parking on the roadside. If car parks were free and allowed long stay those commuters/shoppers would be off the roads or roadside. In addition, parking for railway stations, particularly the smaller ones, needs to be reviewed with the transport authorities.
