A BUSINESS group has called for proper enforcement of parking restrictions on a Colchester shopping street rather than the introduction of charges.
Colchester Council is investigating putting parking meters on Crouch Street, where shoppers currently enjoy 30 minutes’ free parking.
Ian Wicks, chair of the North East Essex Federation of Small Businesses, said he though the proposal would be bad for business.
“Experience shows that when such parking charges are introduced local shops suffer,” he said.
