Broughton St parking - back to angle parking

Postby Noel Tudball » Fri Nov 20, 2015 5:24 pm


At the 16th November Council meeting, Councillors voted unanimously to restore the recently-converted parking (from angle to parallel) back to angle parking.

Congratulations to the local residents who created and signed a petition to have the parking style restored - democracy in action.

The winning arguments were:
  • Councillors (and residents and businesses) were not consulted about the change beforehand
  • Angle parking is much quicker and easier to enter and leave, reducing traffic snarls, danger and frustration
  • The change had resulted in:
    - a narrower roadway for passing vehicles
    - danger to occupants entering and alighting vehicles - especially parents with young children and older people with walkers, etc.

The works were completed a couple of weeks later.
