Shoppers can park at Britannia, Priory Street, Vineyard Street and Napier Road car parks for only 50p after 3pm.

Parking 50p why not make it free. What will encourage more people into Colchester town centre -50p or free. Why cannot Colchester learn from Tendring where parking is free after 10.00 am for local residents at all times of the year.
