Free Parking, Free Advertising

Knowing that the village is really lacking in parking facilities both for shoppers but, as importantly, those who work in the village often on minimum wage, why is it right that, for some weeks, two vehicles outside The Bar & Grill and Grill on the Edge can blatantly advertise? Yes, one traditional ‘car’ looks very Yuletide and the other, contrastingly, ‘White Van Man’ but if a local shop did this, and especially a Tesco, there would be uproar. And these are not local businesses.

Why are these spaces now ‘gone’ to those who contribute far more to the village?

The ‘traditional’ car has been parked outside The Bar & Grill/Grill on the Edge since the week commencing 5th December. I noticed it particularly when Mr Frank Keegan complained that customers to the restaurants couldn’t park outside to drop off a disabled lady on the day of the Christmas Market. It was still there last night when I went into the village. Three weeks of free parking and free advertising.

i had noticed that blue van advertising fireplaces or something of the like and wondered how they were getting away with it. can we tow it off? it’d make a cool hen house ;-)
