Whichever it is, government or council, this is a typical example of all that's been wrong in this country for a long time, that is GREED. It's everywhere you look, even in the middle of a pandemic, and much to the detriment of us all IMO.
Much of the loss of our high streets and smaller shops is I reckon due to the greedy demands for high rents and extortionate business rates. Not forgetting of course the cost of parking. A city just ten miles from the rural village where I live has a shopping centre with a car park that charges £8 a day to park (six days a week, free on Sundays), equivalent to around a £1 an hour. There are 2,300 spaces, assuming full space capacity each day that equates to £110,400 a week or £57,408,000 per year. What a rip-off that is for what is simply shopping!
