TOPSHAM car parks could soon revert back to being free after nearly 100 residents complained to city councillors.
Parking was the most discussed topic in Topsham after residents were invited to an open forum with the police, county and city councillors, and Steve Carnell, in charge of parking in Exeter.
The biggest point of contention was the introduction of car parking fees at Tappers Close Car Park - residents said this effectively left them without a free car park.
Car parking fees were introduced earlier this year.
This was to allow train users to park in the overflow car park and to make up the shortfall of the city council's concessionary bus scheme.
However, residents pointed out the car park was literally empty since the charges came into force.
