the parking charges are increasing a bit😳

At at least it makes the fiver at GT look reasonable...

Wow, so basically £9 to hike the Cobbler. How many people's first hill was that?

This is Arrochar's attempt at a tourist tax by the look of it, subtle...

That's a disgrace, I use those carparks at least once a week. Oh well, I'll just park on one of the streets instead. I'm sure lot's of others will too.

Yip. If I was a resident I’d be raging as the few residential streets will be packed with cars

That's not too bad. It's a big price hike but up to £6 to hog a space in the car park for what for some may be a minimum of 6 hours is quite reasonable I think. There's also those that camp overnight and probably leave their rubbish strewn about which has to be collected by someone at some point.

Or get the bus or train instead.

Good idea. I'll turn a 90mins round trip into a 4hr one at 3x the price.
