Some have sought clarification to be told by harbour staff that it is 20 minutes, whilst others insist that if your vehicle enters the car park for longer than 10 minutes, without purchasing a ticket, you will receive notice of a hefty fine in the post.<br/>“I have asked more than once for a simple answer to a simple question - how long is the ‘grace period’ the harbour has agreed with the parking company so we can all know if you have one minute to drop or collect someone for work or if you have five?” one local resident posted on Facebook.<br/>“What about guests driving to the marine centre to drop off their luggage when they check in. The charge is to ‘use the car park’ even if you don’t park. <br/>“That’s what will make the company thousands of pounds this summer and ruin a lot of holidays when visitors receive their surprise ticket or tickets on returning home.<br/>“Anyone launching boats, fuelling boats, collecting trailers, dropping off kayaks, picking up workers at the end of the day etc are all money making opportunities with this new charge.<br/>“I feel most for the older people or those with mobility issues who drive down late in the evening and purchase fish and chips - to take away. They now have to pay to park. It’s all just an opportunity for money now. Greed!”")
