Sir,
I have just returned from an exhilarating family holiday on the Isle of Iona. On reading The Oban Times of June 1, I note that under Argyll and Bute Council’s off-street parking places and charges (Isle of Mull) order 2017, I will in future be charged for leaving our vehicle in the currently free car park at Fionnphort.
Diesel and ferry costs for travel from the south of England are about £250 for a family of four, even after the welcome reduction in CalMac fares. I fear that any further charges could be the tipping point – we can be in Normandy for less than £100.
