It's wonderful news that car parks in Weymouth will be relinquishing charges for three days in an attempt to draw support for some scheduled local events.

However, whilst this is all well and good, what about the council bestowing the same support, or in the very least reducing the extortionate charges already in place, in an attempt to help its high-street businesses and local residents throughout the rest of the year?
