Parking mix-up has been cleared up

The Courier has published a promotion by Leamington BID that, at the foot, contains a voucher that offers free parking in the Covent Garden multi-storey park “every Saturday in December”.

Unfortunately, it appears that the car park attendants had been briefed that this offer was for one day and one visit only and were attempting to confiscate the vouchers. They were obviously not able to cope with the disputes that resulted and were obviously distressed.

In an extremely constructive telephone conversation yesterday, one of the Warwick District Council parking team told me that there was a clear difference between what they had intended (one-visit-only) and the published voucher and that they now understood that this placed their car park attendants in an intolerable situation.

She assured me that they would brief all their teams that the vouchers had to be taken to mean what they said: “Free Parking every Saturday in December”.

You may wish to publish this to assure Courier readers that they can take advantage of the BOD offer without fear of further possible confrontations. - Tony Ericson, Parr Close, Warwick.
