ARE we to assume that the upgrade to all the parking machines will see not only machines that accept the new pound coin, but also ones that give change?
Countless times I’ve had to pay £1 when the ticket is only 70p - a tidy profit to the council who are effectively charging 30 per cent more than the advertised fee for parking.
Not everyone has pockets containing the exact change.
In fact let’s go a step further and give Cheshire East Council taxpayers a free 12 month parking permit.
