I find the actions of MHDC charging car parking fees at night in the centre of Malvern extraordinary, considering it professes to encourage both the theatres and visitors.

It is bad enough to charge for parking during the daytime, but to compound the issue is very short-sighted. Why not kill Great Malvern off for good by closing off Church Street, that would be 'the last nail in the coffin'.

I have ceased taking my car into the town and use the bus, but as they are nearly empty most of the time, I cannot see this good service continuing for much longer. A case of 'use it or lose it'.

But I do not intend to pay excessive fees as well, for a night out. Let us face the fact that MHDC does not encourage visits to our town, by taking away our loos and charging excessive fees for parking

Malvern is a very unfriendly place!
