What is your feedback on the proposed changes
Oppose time restrictions.
1. Surfing - Kids Safety.
My kids surf for 3 or 4 hours in summer. They need a car to go back to, to drink water, re-apply sunscreen. It's safe with a car next to the beach where we can see them. In bad weather My kids can take shelter where we can see each other. Surfers can't phone each other on cellphones - it's about safety being able to see each other. We need a car parked where we can see it.
2. Restaurant customers don't need cars on the waterfront, they can walk. They don't have safety issues.
3. Surf comps - shelter.
It's often cold, windy, raining during surf comps. Kids (and adults) competing get really cold. They need shelter. We need cars and vans parked along the waterfront to take shelter in. To get changed.
4. The waterfront car parks are far more important for surfers than anyone else. It's about safety for surfers and their kids. It's about shelter from the elements. People going to restaurants can park on the next streets back - they don't have safety issues.
