Free parking at church

A proposal to introduce free parking for Christians heading for church on Sunday mornings could be alienating other faiths in one Gloucestershire town.

Councillors in Tewkesbury are currently looking at the plans – with those against saying it is discriminatory while the scheme backers point out a lack of mosques or synagogues.

Do weekend church-goers on your patch benefit from such ‘perks’ and is the service being abused by people keen on a spot of Sunday morning shopping?

Perhaps similar plans are being mooted in a bid to encourage more people into church.
