One shop owner says he took just £4 in a day, while an artist closed the doors on his high street gallery last week because of business rates. After a few laps of the town I finally park and it's a £4 minimum charge for two hours. Now I understand why there are concerns about the price of parking because it seems pricey for a rural town. Dafydd Davies is a third generation butcher at Dewi James a'i Gwmni, which has stood on the high street for 60 years. It's situated in the middle of the high street and the couple are optimistic for the future.
