Parking charges are madness but its like that all over Scarborough, total ripoff and they make you pay to use the toilet, 40p !! I only had my card, I tried to pay, it took my money but the door didn't open. Luckily some man give me 40p in coins which was nice of him. You shouldn't have to pay to use toilets in a public place, the council get enough.

Appalling high parking charges for such a tight spaced car park that gets full very fast. £6.00 for 3 hours parking is a joke, where is the money been invested in Scarborough town centre? Scarborough council should be ashamed for how they have let this seaside town down big time.
