Parking : Thu Feb 09, 2012 7:29 pm  

I know we had all the commotion before the Widnes game regarding parking and prices and stuff. It was free in the multistorys on that day but it was thought it wouldn't continue to be free when the season proper began. Any word on this?

Also, is it still free on the old Tesco site? Not being a local (travel from Blackpool every week), can someone give me an address/postcode/directions to this site if it continues to be free.

I don't really no the area so parking every week can be a mystery. It was easy at Knowsley Road but now i'm in an unfamilar area of the town

Also, sorry if this has been hit upon on MANY times already.

Yes. There is a charge of £1 per car tomorrow night on the multistoreys.

Nope. There is a charge of £1 per car at the old Tesco site.

Some town centre car parks are still free so far as I can gather but the multistoreys and the former Tesco car park are not.

Still, £1 per car is nothing. It covers the Council's costs and doesn't hurt anybody's bank account.

I can cope with a quid. My main concern at the Widnes game was getting out of the multistory. When I've gone to concerts etc and parked in multistories I've been waiting hours to get out. However I was in my car and out on the road within 10 minutes of the match finishing. Good stuff.

I see the Vultures were out on friday charging £5 to park off peasley cross road and puting there traffic cones out stopping you parking on the road?

Can't be right, the police or council should do something?

They can't stop anyone parking on the road. Only the council can do that, with relevant parking restrictions. Just move the cones next time! HOwever, they can charge you £5 for parking on their land if they want to, assuming the land was privately owned by them of course.

It could be. A letter to the Council alerting them may be worthwhile.
