It's official then! The last bastion of sacred free parking in Dudley is about to vanish along with the rhetoric about 10,000 free parking spaces that lured crowds from all the major shopping areas with a pretence that could not last.

It's official then! The last bastion of sacred free parking in Dudley is about to vanish along with the rhetoric about 10,000 free parking spaces that lured crowds from all the major shopping areas with a pretence that could not last.

Forgive me for not shedding too many tears with the certain knowledge that anyone prepared to shop at Merry Hell should be prepared to pay 50 pence an hour for the privilege.

What is not acceptable is our rip-off hospital Russells Hall charging twice as much for the inconvenience of being ill.

At least our shoppers can boycott the place if they are unhappy with their charges, which is more than can be said for our poor sick and disabled who are charged twice as much for being ill.
