Council meeting runs out of time to discuss free parking

DUDLEY Council missed an opportunity to consider bringing back free parking after time ran out at its last meeting.

- 

At full council on December 1, councillors were set to discuss a Notice of Motion proposing a report for the authority's leaders on income since charges were introduced and the impact of one hour of free parking.

The motion, from The Black Country Party's CIIr Matt Cook, was set for a possible amendment from the council's ruling Conservative group supporting free parking but it was not discussed because time for debate ran out.
