Car park mystery. There's currently a planning application to build on part of the Smithfield Car Park in Bridgnorth, which is privately owned but has up to now been operated by Shropshire Council. Last weekend user's of the Council's MiPermit cashless payment system received a message saying that parking there would not be available from Shropshire Council from 20:00 on Thursday 20th May (today) but there's still no information about whether the public will be able to continue using this car park tomorrow! The pay machines have now disappeared.
