ANOTHER Oswestry town councillor has called for one of the town's main car parks to be altered to help shoppers.
Last week, Conservative town councillor Paul Milner made the call as part of his desire to reduce anti-social behaviour and help with social distancing as the town begins to reopen after the Covid-19 lockdown.
And now Green Party member Councillor Mike Isherwood is urging Oswestry Town Council to help the town get back on its feet by installing a pay-on-exit system at their main Central Car-Park.
He said: “Currently car park users buy a ticket for a fixed period of time.
"Although the charges are reasonable, the fines for over-staying are worrying and means that some visitors cut short their shopping.
"Paying on exit is a hassle-free solution to this problem which has been called for by many traders.
I think it is time Oswestry Town Council now did its bit to get the town back on its feet."
The motion from Cllr Isherwood will join Cllr Milner's on the agenda for discussion at the next meeting of Oswestry Town Council on Wednesday.
