Harpenden Left A ‘Ghost Town’ In The Wake Of On-Street Parking Charges

“It’s a sad day – and not just for Harpenden’s hard working high street traders and our local economy,” said Nigel Gardner.

“Everyone – from our young mums to our pensioners – will find their daily lives harder as a result of the council’s actions.

“St Albans council have simply not listened. It’s hard to come to any other conclusion than their officials are ideologically motivated – with little understanding of what makes Harpenden tick.”
