Gala Bingo is to end free parking at its East Ham club for non-members.

The management is using a pay-and-display operation but parking will remain free to members via a touch screen console at reception to authorise a stay.

The move has come due to non-members causing inconvenience to genuine club members unable to find adequate parking.

The system is initially being installed at High Street North club on a trial basis before being rolled out at other locations.
