'Greedy' plans to end free parking in Tesco Merthyr cause uproar

Angry, concerned and inconvenienced is how locals in Merthyr Tydfil feel after receiving the news that its Tesco is set to lose its two-hour free parking.

A planning application has been submitted to the council by the parking management company, APCOA, to introduce new 'Park to Shop' measures.

The proposals, which have been submitted on behalf of Tesco, will allow customers to stay for up to three hours if they spend a minimum of £3 in the store. At present, shoppers are permitted to park up for two hours without charge.
