    It's a good idea Jan that is well worth serious consideration.

    The problem is that it is the Stores that lose money with that, not the Council. Stores would have to be able to justify the cost involved to profit from any increased footfall they may attract if such a system were introduced.

    DDC proposals for revised parking charges in the District indicate a possible free 30 minute for 'click & collect' at St James, and it looks like the rest of the charges there will be in line with the rest of some of the in town sites with a max. of 4 hours and £4.40. Not set in stone yet though.
    So, say park there for the Cinema and a meal could well exceed the max. time allowed.

    My personal view is that DDC's car parking charges will probably put people off from visiting on any regular sort of basis. First time 'look and sees' and one off visits may be OK but for regulars the best option may lie with a good bus service, or go elsewhere. After all there are other shopping areas in and around Dover that offer free parking.
