I got the following in part of a salsa-scene bulletin from back home:

CHEAPER PARKING IN YORK!

Yup, finally after a great deal of hassle from the public and local businesses, York City Council have agreed to lower their parking fees to a standard all night rate of �2 for non-York residents and �1 for York residents. I have spoken to the councillor in person and she says that this will be implemented at the end of November 04′.

So in case you thought York had a lot to offer (and it is fairly pretty, but not all THAT exciting of an evening) please bear in mind they don’t want your car. I suggest you take your business to Leeds where there is more of everything apart from churches and old walls. The drains don’t smell as bad there either.
