it is at this time of year that the metropole in llandrindod has it's busiest time in way of conferences, this week has seen major problems with parking in the surrounding areas.
Areas where elderly supported housing folk shuffle about their business and school kids and young mums try to get to and from school.
The chaos this week has come directly from the metropole who invite delegates in numbers that their car park cannot accomadate, this has seen the towns streets oversubscribed and left in perilously dangerous conditions,cars straddling pavements,blocking bus routes and traversing junctions.
The metropole are employing a car park attendee whos job is to direct traffic onto the neighbouring streets when their car park is full.
the same family that owns and manages the metropole also owns the derelict site adjacent to the auto palace that has been an eyesore for over 4 years and could at redeemable cost have been turned into a overflow car park.
I do feel sorry for many of the delegates attending conferences at the metropole as they sometimes have to walk a quarter of a mile to the conference from where they have parked.
Perhaps they should park in a pay and display car park and send the bill to the metropole who claim on their website that their is adequate free parking.
or perhaps delegates will no longer feel like parking on the adjacent neighbouring streets especially if they find out about some of the short term serial offenders who take residence at the nearby gwynfa hostel.
perhaps they might even consider taking their meetings somewhere more accomadating.
