Thanks for the warning. I just looked that up.

"First 30 minutes of parking free"

What on earth use is that? By the time you've walked from the car park

Well, it allows you time to drop someone who needs a wheelchair,
and pick them up later.

But for everyone except the most local visitors, there will be somewhere
nearer home where they can do all of those things.
