This is the centre of Tottington where the local public house caused outrage in Tottington last year by turning the village's main car park into pay and display. The decision sparked a backlash with angry traders who launched a Save Our Village campaign claiming that charging visitors to park in the centre of the village would kill off trade. Within a week of the pay and display coming into force, traders were already reporting a fall in business and described the village as a "ghost town". For the full story click on [dead link removed].
