A MALVERN businessman has hit out at 30-minute waiting restriction on Grange Road.

Lee Harrison, manager of Select World Travel, said clients had nowhere to park while choosing holidays, a process that often takes more than half an hour.

He said staff also had to park up to 20 minutes' walk away to find a free space.

"Something has got to be done," said Mr Harrison. "The town's already dying on its feet."

Worcestershire Highways Partnership manager Mike Davis said the restrictions had been in place for years but the signs had only just been replaced. He said the waiting limit was to ensure a quick turnover of traffic in the town centre and if people wanted to stay for longer they would have to pay or park further away.
