  Here is something towards a solution.
  
  The council should provide a "workers" car park, something like the long term car park, but for workers only - at severely reduced rate say, £5 a week (per 7 days) which will also mean that they don't clog up the free parking on Sunday for visitors. This car park would be one of the off centre car parks but not one that is so far away as to be unattractive. NPR system so that only registered employees can gain access. This will allow the central car parks to be fully available for visitors and shoppers alike. On special days when additional parking is required access could be given by allowing non registered cars in. In the evenings from say 6 pm, the car park could allow restaurant/leisure goers residents in if there is space, and if they are not removed by 8 in the morning they will receive an automatic charge of say £10 per hour via the NPR in order to get out.
  
  In my business I have 8 parking permits. However only three of the cars are used constantly during the day. It would make sense if the regime recognised the time factor of constant use and constant toing and froing to the car park and allowed those three cars to park in a four hour car park close to the office and in return make the other cars park in a workers car park because they do not get used during the day.
  
  Charging on a Sunday will not help any of the three Towns in the District. Dealing with the workers must be one way to help.
  
  If Sunday charges are deemed necessary, then the problem could be solved/eased by having the first two or three hours free, then £4 per hour or part thereof after the free period. NPR is a brilliant way of ensuring the charges are taken. Churn is guaranteed.
