Cut back council pen pushers
No shops, no town, no need for anyone to go to town, and therefore nobody to pay extortionate parking charges.

These savings would enable free parking for all, and the suffering town centre businesses would be able to compete with the retail and business parks.
Did I hear someone volunteer then?
No doubt there will be some kind of clever response justifying the extortionate salaries we pay these public servants.
