Earlier this week, Shropshire Council put the brakes on controversial plans to change how street parking works in the market town after backlash from residents.
Businesses leaders in Bridgnorth say the town is already losing "tens of millions" in revenue a year due to a lack of parking infrastructure as they welcome the scrapping of a new parking scheme.
Steve Robbins, chairman of Bridgnorth Chamber of Commerce, said the proposed changes would have been"disastrous". "Can our shops and businesses survive a loss in revenue of £24 million per annum?" he said."The provision for parking in the town is already insufficient, particularly during the tourist season."
