Quoted from James_Trinder

Probably nowhere but you can drive between two different signs in the space of a few minutes, which isn't going to affect the figures greatly.
You'd have to reverse your direction to see both, wouldn't you?

For example you'd have to drive South down the A339 to see the Kennet Centre, then North up the A339 to see Parkway, wouldn't you?

I think he's got confused and quoted the combined figures for Parkway/Northcroft and The Wharf/The Kennet Centre.

Hey User, any way of putting a live updates thing on the website which could be linked to the car parks? May even link it to social media like twitter / facebook so there is a half hourly update saying "there is x parking spaces at x car park"? I've seen a few towns do this, might be something to look into?

They could also connect to a counter of how much is being added to the SLI shareholders coffers

As you drive north past the railway station on your left, you will have a sign that shows Parkway/Northcroft (combined), The Wharf, and The Kennet Centre.  Proceeded to Parkway, via the Robin Hood giratory, and you will come to a sign on the London Road that shows you the amount of spaces at Parkway and Northcroft.
