City centre parking can be a nightmare, and paying for the privilege makes the hassle even worse. We’re speaking to people in Cardiff who say it’s often too expensive to park in the centre, and think companies are trying to get every penny they can from us.

00:00Yeah, we don't bring our cars because it is so expensive.
00:03Even outside our house, we have to buy a permit and whatnot.
00:06It's just expensive, so it's better to walk.
00:08It's quicker, anyway.
00:09Yeah.
00:10I see it because, like, if you're owning a parking area around here,
00:12you're going to want to charge more if it's in city centre.
00:14But I do feel like they do overprice it quite a little bit.
00:20Because I used to live just, like, down the street down there,
00:23and my parents used to come around parking here,
00:25and the parking is insane here, for pricing-wise.
00:28So if you were to park here, I'd say park some outside of town.
00:32Oh, my God, I heard that they said.
00:33They'll take you for any money they can get.
00:35Yeah, definitely.
00:36Like, we parked in city centre last week,
00:39and I think it was about £9 for about three or four hours.
00:42Like, it's ridiculous.
00:43It's actually ridiculous.
00:44Yeah, probably, because it...
00:46Like, especially when the sun comes out as well,
00:48the prices usually rise, so...
00:50And it's quite busy all the time.
00:52So I don't think they would lose money from not doing that,
00:55but it's also a good opportunity for them too, I suppose.
01:00Thank you, L.C.
01:01Flipping for that program.
01:03Thank you, L.C.
01:04And we'll see you next time in the next couple of weeks.
01:05Thank you, L.C.
