Submission
Do you think the zone has been assigned correctly?
No
What change to the zone would you recommend?
If we are trying to make the city center an exciting destination and a viable shopping option then we need to do what is required to draw people in. Concern over staff parking all day could be mitigated with restricted time parking on Sunday. The machines could print out a ticket that needs to be displayed.
Do you think the hours of enforcement are appropriate?
No
What change to the hours you would recommend?
The work day finishes at 5pm so there is no need to patrol after this period. From 5 pm onwards you are only making it harder for patrons to support our struggling hospitality industry. What is the cost vs revenue for the extra hour. We need to support bringing people into the city, especially on the weekend.
Are there other changes to restrictions in this area that you think should be considered in the future?
No
What changes to the restrictions would you recommend?
Do you have any other comments about the planned zone for Sunday paid parking?
We need to encourage people to come into the city and have a vibrant city center, especially since the council has spent a fortune on developing the area. Why does the council seem bent on putting further hurdles on bring people into the city.
