[LUG] LUG Meet at Shoreline Cafe on 4th April - Parking...

 

Hi folks,

I picked up a leaflet the other day about an offer that Torbay council 
will be running in April.  It seems that anyone will be able to park in 
Torbay Council run car parks for £1 for a whole weekend on every weekend 
in April.  I thought it might be handy to mention for anyone who is 
driving into Paignton.

There are restrictions such as if you're in a short stay car park you 
can't park for longer than the maximum time but as far as I'm aware 
there aren't any limits on the multi-story car park (is it the Victoria 
Car Park?) in Paignton which is just across from Paignton Green.

It appears that it only covers car parks (not that you can find any 
on-street parking these days anyway!).

Anyway, you can find more out about it on the rather useless Torbay 
Council web site here:
http://www.torbay.gov.uk/index/transportandstreets/parking/carparks/carparkcharges.htm#pound

Here's the info from Torbay's web site...


    Pound Parking in April

A single £1 ticket purchased after 6pm Friday will be valid for use ALL 
weekend at all council Pay & Display car parks.
Every weekend in April 2009, there is a £1.00 fixed charge for all 
tickets purchased at Torbay Council Car Parks between 6pm Friday and 
10am on Monday morning.
The £1 ticket purchased between the times stated above will be 
transferable to all Torbay Council Car Parks. Normal charges apply at 
all other times.
*
PLEASE NOTE: *If parking in short stay car parks you must observe the 
maximum permitted parking times. Union Lane Shoppers, Torquay (75 mins), 
Great Western, Station Lane, Paignton (3 hours), Brixham Central, Bank 
Lane, Brixham (3 hours).
The promotion will not apply to on-street pay and display areas, which 
will remain subject to the usual charges.
