Madam,

I went to Lampeter and parked in the Sainsbury car park, duly paying my parking fee. Only after doing so and stepping back from the machine did I realise that the county council had designated this Saturday (5th) and the next three Saturdays as free parking. That was because the notice was at the bottom of the machine and on the side. Why if the council is offering good news does it not publicise it more and place the notices where people can see them? I stopped the gentlemen behind me from paying, as he had not seen the sign, and I noticed nearly everyone parking in the car park paying. I did not lose my fee as Sainsbury’s has a refund policy but even the lady on the till did not realise it was free parking. She had been giving refunds all day. So come on council, if you are going to do something good for the community, make it known and visible so people are able to take advantage and acknowledge the assistance.

Yours etc
