Free parking for short errands in Melksham
A bouquet for the local authority. Yes, that's not common I know, but I'm delighted that they've provided an hour of free parking in at least one of the local car parks as part of the generally upward price revision last weekend. I don't mind paying to park when I'm in town for a while, but the old charge of 25p for a few minutes to deposit a cheque at the bank or pick up a takeaway "rankled". And roadrage was prevelant around the Market Square where there were a few no charge / one hour spots.
Melksham's got a great range of services available and the previous parking charge structure discouraged their use. Let's hope that the recent changes encourage use of the facilities that we treasure.

Granted, it's only the princely sum of 20p for an hour, but it does seem a little annoying when I spend more time faffing around with the meter than it would take me to pop into the post office and post an item!
