Its amazing how the council seem determined to pick the most popular parking sites and then put charges on them.

I'm sure they think this will bring them more income, but in reality all it does is discourage people from coming into town.

I walk through west mills almost every day, and it used to have people queuing to get one of these "sought after" parking spots, now it is all but empty most times I walk past.

I'm sure a lot of this either comes down to lack of local knowledge, (they dont realise they can simply turn down Craven Road and drive round the block) or its just sheer laziness.

I must admit I personally think the new build leaves a lot to be desired.

It looks likle someone "trying to make their mark" the colour of the central section should be the same as the exisitng building (to blend in a bit at least) and it would have been nice if they had at least kept the old crest and re-instated that on that part of the building.

The large expanse of glass would look more at home in somewhere like London (I know that is the modern way but this is a Museum not an art gallery) something more sympathetic to its surroundings would have been better IMHO.
