Disc Parking Scrapped??
 

We had visitors at the weekend from out of town and decided to have a quick smooch in Accy Centre. We went in their car and forgot to get the green disc out of my car. So I got them to stay with the car (so as not to get a ticket) while we went off in search for a green disc in the Arndale Centre. No green discs in sight so we asked one of the security guards who said that they arent doing them anymore.

He said as you drive into the Arndale it takes your photograph and if you are parked for more than three hours you will automatically get a fine (I assume sent to your home).

I think this is a good idea, as it is a pain when you realise you've forgotten the disc.

However, I think it would be a good idea to let people know! I do get the Observer every week, and read it usually cover to cover. I know they were thinking of scraping the disc parking, but I didnt think it had been en-forced yet?

Also, most of the cars were all displaying discs and I didnt see any signs to say that disc parking was no more. Have I been mis-led or is this now the case?

I usually park on the car park behind Union St, they have changed the signs there, same time limits but doesn't mention the disks anymore, I'll keep using mine for now, you know what these parking attendants are like round here!

i hope you dont need a disc anymore, i think people are too scared too get rid of them just in case

You could park all day on the top floor, has that changed as well?

It was in yesterday's telegraph that it has been scrapped!! I quite liked it myself. :)

Typical backward move. Us shoppers will have to drive round and round trying to park after all the town's workforce move back to the Arndale car park. Thats why the disc scheme was started as far as I remember.
