There was a furious reaction to a post on our Facebook page about parking meters in Oban still not accepting the new £1 coins.
Nikki Warham blasted: ‘I’ve not got a ticket because I was lucky enough there was someone there I could swap a coin with but it’s ridiculous! There’s not enough free parking on town never mind the parking we have doesn’t take the new coins! In my opinion if anyone has received a ticket it should be scrapped and any money paid should be refunded! How is it a drivers fault that the meters don’t take the coins?’
