A MEETING was held by the Community Network Panel last Thursday at Launceston Town Hall regarding the car park charges in the town.

A number of residents, business owners and town councillors attended the meeting.

Cornwall Council parking officers had been invited to attend six weeks previous, but refused the offer; a decision that Alex Folkes, Cornwall Councillor for Launceston Central called "disrespectful to the large numbers of local businesses and residents who had turned out to discuss parking charges."
