I AM sure enough has been said about City of York Council's excessive greed in respect of car parking charges, especially when payment has been extended to 9pm.

Just how much change do they think we carry around?

Soon they will have to find a way to pay by card or cheque.

I shall certainly think twice about coming to York for a night out.

However, I was encouraged to see one or two people handing over their parking tickets when leaving to people arriving.

What a good idea. It should be encouraged.

So remember, next time you park in a council car park and you have a reasonable amount of time left on your ticket do the decent thing when leaving and offer it to another motorist.
