I thought I would go shopping in Wimborne for a change.

Nice friendly shopkeepers. A reasonably good choice and change of shops.

Some lovely little shops that you cannot get elsewhere.

A great hot chocolate and cheese scone with lashings of butter in one of the many coffee shops.

Yes what a nice pleasant morning out. Except the council car park welcome.

I and many others were faced with a choice of parking meters that took both cards and cash.

That is until anybody paying with cash were excluded on all the machines. Not a very nice welcome under the present climate.

Why should the lazy council dictate how you should pay – £1 on a credit card is ridiculous.

Wake up council and stop discouraging visitors and doing people out of jobs.
