WE went to York on the evening of December 14 to attend a concert in the Treasurer's House.

Although we live in Pocklington and read the Evening Press we had forgotten about the car park charging. This resulted in us being stung for £3.90 for three hours parking in the car park off Lord Mayors Walk.

This will not happen again and adverse publicity will result. York council will lose and so will the Beningbrough Singers. The car park was virtually empty.

Incidentally, the car park machine was inaccurate in that we parked at 7.08pm, paid for three hours but the expired time reads 9.27pm.
