I can't remember how much Forth Street is, but I know it's cheaper than the Oxford Street multi-storey which was priced at £1.30 p/h the last time I used it.
However, on most occasions, I park for free at Rye Hill or Shieldfield depending on where I need to be. I really don't mind the walk to be honest.
Parked behind the central station and Dean St regularly, but apart from visiting the RVI (costs are refunded for parking in their car park for parents with kids being treated), I cant remember the last time I was parked up for a significant period of the day in the town - probably 4/5 years ago to be honest.
I tended to believe the patter about it being cheaper by public transport and having never compared costs, believed said patter.
Now GNE have kindly shown it is dearer to travel by public transport, the car will be stretching its legs a little bit more!
