Deputy Calleary made a point earlier. In fairness, as it is, the out-of-town retailers have paid a development contribution on their parking spaces. That does not mean we cannot challenge imposing such a levy, if that is the route Ms Buckley is suggesting, but one should bear in mind that they have paid a development contribution on those spaces. To be as impartial as possible, it would be remiss of me not to at least point that out.
