Concur with AB. Approach to LTN 'by road' is a joke. Heard one of the 'hierarchy' say that they should charge £5 for 10 mins parking (not £1) to dissuade people from parking at 'Short term'.
In my opinion, not aware of what 'passengers' want but looking for speedy income. Who knows, 'he' may not be at LTN next financial year?
