Sainsbury's in Halstead is to begin charging for parking in the car park which is to the rear of the shop. A spokesperson for Sainsbury's attempted to justify the new plans by saying: "too many people were using it as a car park for not only Sainsbury's, but to go to town as well. That's fine, but our main priority is our paying customers, who happened to not be able to park."
Allegedly some people were leaving their cars parked in the car park for days on end, implying that these people perhaps live nearby and do not have sufficient parking space. CCTV cameras will be installed in order to record number plates and ensure that no one outstays the welcome that they paid for.
Prices will range from 50p for half an hour to £5 for overnight (til 10am), and tickets will need to be displayed on the dashboard of your car.
I will definitely use this article as it is news that covers a larger area, showing that my newspaper is not just soley for Wickham.
