Have never been a cynic of the scheme but this is incredibly short sighted by ddc or whoever thought that was a good idea. and no doubt it will be 4 hours max. So people can't watch a film, have a meal and have a look around the shops in one go. Absolute joke but not surprised
The whole of the St James development, including the car park, is owned by Legal and General as part of their property portfolio. What they do with the car park in terms of charging or not is their own business as it's their property and their plan is to charge for parking on Sundays.
IF DDC were NOT to charge for Sunday parking in the streets/car parks around the site you would end up with (for example) the car park by the present swimming pool being filled with shoppers parking for free on a Sunday and would-be swimmers finding nowhere to park anywhere near to the pool.
IF things were as simple as the EKM prints and many forumites think then all parking problems everywhere would have been sorted out a long time ago.
