Sallins pay parking

On the subject of car parks, is getting people who use it to pay for it not the fairest way of doing it? I can't imagine it's cheap to expand a car park and provide the extra facilities (assuming CCTV is installed and security personnel are provided). The only other way of doing it would be to integrate it into the cost of a ticket. As a non-car user who would sooner cycle short distances than drive I would find this grossly unfair. I think I read somewhere that the money brought in would also be used to improve bike parking facilities and this should be encouraged in my opinion.

As for people who live in rural areas, they made the choice to live there and I don't think it should be up to me to subsidise that decision.
