I called earlier in the week to check out parking for the bar and restaurant lunchtime. There wasn't any available spaces even though the tariff was £4.5. The only place to park was in the pub car park across Barnsley Road and once I parked there, why cross the road back to eat. This is dreadful planning

Why have the permit only bays been increased? This car park is the only public car park in this area, where are people supposed to park, if this is full as an alternative for that area?
