As an amateur photographer I am sad to hear that the Sussex Camera Centre in the Carfax is to close. Apparently the manager blames the high cost of all day parking in Horsham for ruining trading conditions in the town. Any thoughts?

I think you are right Clive. Its probably as much to do with competition from internet retailers, loss of revenue from film processing due to people switching to digital cameras and a further competition from a new Jessops store opening in Horsham. Its a shame none the less. This week has also seen the beginning of the closure of MVC in Horsham. With the Allders store still empty there are less and less shops to choose from.

| Along the same line, I must agree with HDC to charge disabled badge holders for parking in town centre car parks. These people have paid thousands for a car, pay to insure it, pay road tax on it and then moan that they have to pay £1 for 2 hours parking! One woman interviewed in the county times said that she would drive to Burgess Hill instead ( that will cost her far more in petrol than the parking fee). Why do disabled badge holders think that it should be free?

I agree Andy. I don't think a pound for 2 hours parking is too much too pay, whoever you are. I think Horsham parking is good value as long as you are not there all day. Some of the traders are saying the cost for ALL DAY parking is making it hard for them to recruit and retain staff. On a brighter note I am pleased to hear that the MVC store will be taken over by Music Zone as of tomorrow. All the existing staff are to be retained which is good news because they have some very helpful and knowledgeable people working there.

I was in Cheltenham recently, and I parked at the town's park and ride at the racecourse. The parking is free but the ride into town costs £1 per person. There was 4 of us! Makes our park and ride look very good value.

For those of you who think parking is too expensive in Horsham, the prices are due to go up in 2008
