central manchester parking
Where would you recommend for parking in Manchester on a Sunday not too far from the main shopping area? I decided to park in Rusholme (an area I know) and take the bus in but ended up paying £9.20 for the round-trip (2 adults and 2 teens).

He had parked on a clear street but half the car was on zig-zags, as he went to a cash machine and was there for no more than a minute!
