Last Friday evening, I left home early, but not early enough I discovered, to attend an event at the ever popular Ffwrnes Theatre in Llanelli.

As it happened, it was the same evening that the carnival was taking place and it was also the switching on of the Christmas lights.

Cars were left parked in places that weren’t designed for parking as all the car parks within a half mile radius were full.

Now, here is my real gripe.

There is an old, long-standing multi-storey car park in the middle of Llanelli.

Yes, here we have an ideally located facility and an asset to the community which is vital if you want to bring business into the heart of a town centre, especially with an out of town shopping centre a mile away!

The multi storey car park closes at 7pm, unbelievable.

Who makes these decisions?

Clearly someone who doesn’t understand business or economics.

I personally spoke to four people who were unable to park.

Therefore, they decided to head off home.

Just think of the business that was lost that evening.

This is just the tip of the iceberg . . . shocking!
