Patrick Scaysbrook, who travels from Leamington Spa to visit Daventry Country Park, said the new rates were "a bit of an issue". "I'm not happy with that at all. I like the £2.20 [current rate] because I can just come here with my daughter and it doesn't matter if she wants to spend an hour here in the park or if we want to go to the café and have a wander.
From April, both Daventry and Brixworth Country Park parking prices will range from £3 to as much as £12, depending on how long you stay. A single park season ticket is rising from £38 to £70.
