Dear Editor,
How much does a car park in Canowindra cost? A report some years ago stated that for every car park in a 1 hour parking area there were 10 changes in every 8 hour period.
With an average spend of $20 per customer this equates to $200 per day, $1,000 per week or potentially $50,000 in turnover per year.
After seeing many shops open and shut in town within 2 years over the last 15 years I have been in business in the Main St of Canowindra I have realised that a lot of these business owners and to some extent their staff, also continued to park in spots deemed for customers.
I beg the question to a few inconsiderate shop keepers “How much is your car park costing you?”
