Warminster 'kicked hard' by unitary authority says Mayor
(April 17, 2010)The Mayor of Warminster is promising not to 'lie down' or take a
'hard kick' from the unitary authority without doing something in the
last few days of his office.
"I am calling an extraordinary council meeting for May 12th to solely discuss the car parking changes," said Cllr. Tony
Nicklin.
Nicklin. "We am not going to quietly lie down. It will be about who gets
free parking as a right and will take into account the state of affairs
in other towns."
The town is currently signing up to a petition that is in local
shops organised by local retailers. He made comparisons with
neighbouring towns where there are exceptions to the general rule to
support their call.
"Warminster have been kicked hard by the unitary authority," claimed Cllr. Nicklin.
"Westbury seems to have been given an offer now. We only have an
offer to talk about car parking charges without any figures. I am
hoping to get people here on the 12th with something to put on the
table."
"I like shopping in Warminster," Gillingham resident Eric Dolman
told visionforwarminster.co.uk before co-author Paul

"It is a shame that they are going to get rid of those two hours. I am sure they will lose a lot of trade."
The venue for the meeting on Monday 12th May has yet to be decided.
