A Dumfries businesswoman is offering to pay for shoppers’ first hour of parking to increase footfall in the Vennel and town centre.
Anne McLauchlan told the Standard recent changes to the car park between the New Bazaar and the Waterfront Takeaway has resulted in drivers receiving fines of up to £100 and shunning the area.
Card Cabin owner Anne said: “A lot of people haven’t realised there’s an app you need to download and they’ve been sent a fine for £100 in the post. Because the signage is very poor, it’s difficult to understand what to do.
