We go into Upminster to do our weekly shop, but when the car park charges were considerably lower, not only did we get our weekly shopping, we would explore and look around the shops etc. having done that, we would often return to Roome stores and have lunch, however, if we were earlier we would have breakfast before going the weekly shop. That is completely out of the question now as the rates are far to high for us, as we are pensioners, not only are they high they now state we cannot stay in the carparks longer then 3 hours. Upminster I am afraid to say like many towns, is dying, as it is being choked to death with high carparking charges, and rate etc. It is no wonder many of our favourite stores have closed down.
