Town Centres. The bullet point says:
"maintain sufficient parking in town centres so as not to undermine their vitality, whilst ensuring that effective alternatives . . . are provided"
I agree, as long as this means increasing the number of spaces, and making parking free!
Acceptable alternatives are limited to Park & Ride facilities just outside town. People with cars will use these, but will not use public transport all the way from villages - and will drive somewhere else instead, where they can park easily.
Parking provision should be seen as an incentive to participate - NOT as a source of revenue!
