well gordon cowan has just confirmed that in 2003 a euro directive was introduced after a complaint by an italian that he was not treated equally in entrance fee to a UK resident ie a uk resident got free entry whilst he had to pay.
the judgement was that no european country cvan discriminate in this way,
DDC held off for as long as possible until the issue was raised, including free entry throughout the school holidays, once raised then the council needed to act.
the felt the best way would be to introduce an all round £3-50 fee where you can visit all year round once you paid the dosh so A one off payment.
that way it gets round the directive and so in the councils eyes doesnt leave them open to legal challenge.
hope that helps
