Taken at 9.30am on a cold Monday morning after school holidays have finished. All the side streets & Asda were chocker apparently!

Be interesting to see how it looked pre-today at the same time of the week like. Non-holiday time obviously.

Special place for me after a family tragedy. Used to drive to Seaham and just look out at sea for an hour or so most days. Probably wouldn’t have bothered if there was a charge. They’ll do tuck all with the cash anyway. Probably employ a warden…..

People saying trade on the seafront has been good today Humbles was full people just parking elsewhere.
Just don’t get the meltdowns people are having on social media over £1 parking charges when most other places on coast have them - plenty more important things to be worried about.

We are usually there at that time pretty much every Monday throughout the year and it never looks that quiet even on days when the weather is worse. We drove along the front at just before 10am and the car parks were just about empty apart from Asda . Drove back just after lunch and it still looked very quiet compared to a normal weekday.

From an entirely selfish perspective if there’s less cars driving along the front at least I won’t be breathing in a never ending trail of exhaust fumes when walking/jogging along there.
Remains to be seen the actual impact of this. Hopefully it doesn’t stop people who actually spend money in the area for the sake of £3. Not bothered about the tight gits who use it as a free toilet for their dogs.
See this on the Shields forums all the time, free parking will cure cancer and stop the war in ukraine, because people refuse to shop cos of £1.

I live a 5 minute walk from the front so it doesn't affect me, but I have a 97 year old relative who drives down to noses point every day to sit on my grandparents memorial bench who now has to pay for his parking which is going to stop him doing it every day.

Some vigilante has pulled one of the machines clean out of the ground by the looks of it.
I mean, I have no opinion on it either way but they keep doing that, its them as residents who will ultimately end up paying for it

Has it not just been hit by a car if it's completely out of the ground? They've then buggered off. I doubt the average vandal could rip one of those machines out the ground.
This combined with the A19 Seaton slip road been shut for a few months will have a canny effect on the footfall getting down the sea front

When I was out walking on Tuesday around 5ish noticed all cars that displayed a Blue Badge had a ticket under the wiper, obviously none had paid. 30 Mins later I bumped into a couple I knew who received one of the tickets...it wasn't a fine when they opened it, it just warning that disabled had to pay. How long that lasts nee idea.
