Tradesmen Object to Parking Charges.
Cardigan Town Council's veto on free parking for buses, coaches and motorcars has caused an "indignation" meeting of the tradesmen to be held, at which it was resolved again to agitate for free parking.
The point made by the tradesmen is that coach tourists and car owners avoid the town because of the traffic regulations, while other West Wales centres offer special and free parking facilities to attract visitors.
