Exeter's chamber of commerce has welcomed a decision by the city council, to abandon part of their overhaul of car parking charges.
City councillors met last night to discuss a report on the public consultation on the change in tariffs.
There were nearly 300 objections, mainly relating to the proposal to turn the Howell Road and Fairpark car parks into short-stay areas - and that particular change has now been dropped.
Those car parks are used by many companies whose staff have to go out by car to visit clients several times a day... and they would have been faced with much higher charges if the season tickets were not available.
