BROMSGROVE District Council’s logic in giving free car parking after 7pm is to encourage night time trade in the town centre; this is estimated to cost BDC approximately £60,000.
Unfortunately there is no plan to monitor the increase in business. A question remains: Is the council benefitting a supermarket and a few pubs?
Surely, if the Council is prepared to risk £60,000 on a decision when there is no plan to monitor change, it begs the question why deprive the Artrix Theatre of the £60,000 Bromsgrove District Council Grant?
