Sir,

Most of the locals know about the newly-enforced parking restrictions put into force by the county council. It's a nice little earner - but what about the visitors who don't?

This could have an adverse effect on the summer trade we rely upon. Some have already been caught out. They were not very pleased, to put it mildly!

In their efforts to obtain money from the motorist, the county council should place new parking restriction signs out of the profit they make!

They should be encouraging visitors, not driving them away!
