Local MSP Craig Hoy took a stand with over 50 upset residents in North Berwick recently; Santa also joined the rally.
Speaking after the event, Craig said, "It was heartening to see so many people taking a stand against damaging parking charges imposed on North Berwick by East Lothian Council.
“Everyone was very clear; they feel ignored and betrayed by the Council and don’t want to see these charges introduced. The plan will be damaging to businesses and cause totally unnecessary costs and bureaucracy for residents.
“I, along with many residents in North Berwick, stand firmly against the measures.
“It’s not too late for the council to think again and deliver some Christmas cheer by listening to the community’s concerns.”
