Conway Town Manager Tom Holmes reported to selectmen this week that the new paid parking program is losing money and he is cutting attendants, who make $16 an hour. The program started Memorial Day and is now in effect at First Bridge, Davis Park, the Smith-Eastman Landing and Conway Lake. Parking is free for residents and property owners and $20 a day for visitors. Locals like it because the parking lots are not crowded and tourists complain and say the daily fee is too high.

This week’s TeleTalk question is: How do you think the parking program is going so far?
