The Inn South Stainley introduces parking charges
The Inn South Stainley is to introduce parking charges for people who do not use the venue.
The pub, midway between Harrogate and Ripon on the A61, has a 36 bus route directly outside.
Some people going to Harrogate, Ripon and Leeds use the site as a free park and ride.
Meters and signs have been introduced explaining that it will cost £2 to park for up to two hours, £4 for up to three hours and £5 for up to 10 hours.
Anyone using the pub, or the adjoining 12-bedroom accommodation, will be able to put their vehicle details into a touchpad screen when they enter to avoid the charge.

Bar manager Chris Chapman said:
The Stray Ferret revealed in February that parking meters had been installed in Ripley Castle Car Park.
The car park was also used for free by some people who then caught the 36 bus.
