Hanley Car Parks

“There is a significant amount of anecdotal evidence, opinion and speculation over the relationship between car parking provision and town centre prosperity”

Ticket machines sprout from every orifice of the town like weeds in a neglected garden once fit for purpose. Relentless appropriation of public land that is privatised and profited from for people who live elsewhere. The occasional splash of yellow amongst the greyness of everything else. I marvel at the calamity of it all. The complete commodification of time and space. £2.50 for 12 hours of what?
