I was invited to attend a car park workshop at County Hall last week. As I had been involved previously in many car parking issues I did not go with a lot of confidence.

To my surprise, if I take on board that this was a ‘listening’ workshop, it achieved its initial objectives.

Each of the local towns had representatives present to discuss and look at their particular issues and potential solutions. It was a well organised and productive workshop.

Let us hope we can work together for the benefit of businesses/organisations/customers and local residents. Although the books have to balance it is also about regeneration of our towns.

I now wait to see if my initial observations of this workshop were merited.
