Stephen Mosley reacts to Lab/Lib Dem decision to axe Free After Three

Deputy City Council Leader Stephen Mosley said, “Evidence shows that if you increase parking charges the numbers of visitors decrease. ‘Free After Three’ was introduced by the Conservatives to encourage shoppers back to Chester and it has worked. The actions of Labour and the Lib Dems defy belief, we are in the middle of a deep recession and we need to be supporting beleagured city centre traders.”
