CAR
PARKING - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
|
We have listened to our customers' comments regarding our
private car
parking facilities.
In the past, many of our customers had been unable to find parking spaces - especially on Fridays and Saturdays -
and had no alternative but to drive away without shopping with us. This was due mainly to individuals who
had parked their vehicles to go and shop
elsewhere in the village.
So, back in March 2005, we decided to begin monitoring our car park to
ensure that spaces were always available for our customers.
Today, we employ Tom as our car park assistant. He patrols our car
park all day, every day, and is always ready to warmly greet customers and help them with any enquiries.

If you wish to make any comments about car parking in Standish (i.e. the lack
of), please click
