Letter in the Driving section of today’s Sunday Times:

“Drivers suffering from parking fatigue or road rage should make a beeline for Northampton town centre … In four of its main car parks the first two hours are free on weekdays, and weekends are free all day. The effect is nothing short of dramatic: the town is buzzing with activity and businesses are booming, quite unlike in much of the country. Parking authorities take not.”

Indeed.
