Shows when you last used a car, car parking in Manchester City Centre is often £10 and upwards aday and there is no where you can park in the City Centre for under £2.50. Fuel a few pence, no its much more expensive than that, £30 might last a week for someone who does 20 miles aday return journey, so in my mind its all to play for, but TfGM want to run a service for people who are poor only lets remember that????

I have never run a car and I distinctly said suburbs not regional centre. Where I live the council provide 38 paid for parking and the other 1500 or so are provided completely free by Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Lidl. and a large but struggling edge of town Retail park. As for you paying £1.50 a mile in fuel, even the powerful motoring lobby quote figures below 20p. As for your thinly veiled attack on the poor, I'm not going to waste my phone battery on a personal response. But to illustrate the wider picture I would just say this: THEIR IS NO H IN TAMESIDE.
