Parking meter bid sparks fresh anger

Parking meters limiting drivers to a half hour visit in Wokingham town centre could make £350,000 a year.

Wokingham Borough Council bosses say the cash made through the project would be ploughed back into schemes to benefit the town centre.

But traders and motorists have called for the plan to be sheolved, labelling it a money making scheme.

Traders and shoppers in Wokingham will see a cleaner town centre with some new faces this summer.
