Signs are going up around many of the city council car parks changing them from ticket entry, to pay and display.

Reverting back to this antiquated "pay and display" system will increase the amount of parking fines in self regulated car parks. Currently these car parks have no fines as you simply paid more upon returning if you need more shopping time. In addition to fines, some people tend to pay for more time than they need with "pay and display".

So is this yet another method of the council working against shoppers to profit by fines and increased payments, whilst wasting money replacing currently working system? You decide! Simon Bemister, Southampton.
