What is your feedback on the proposed changes
As a tourism operator that often works outside of the 6pm parking time period the current bus park on George Street is essential for us to pick up and set down passengers. We run 365 days of the year and anytime we are in the area after 6pm (or near 6pm) the authorised parking outside the visitor centre is almost always full with cars, leaving the current bus park around the corner our only option.
Between September 2024 and end of March 2025 (main period when we are there after 6pm) we carried a total of 2001 people and used this area for pick up/set down. The parking is a major problem and we can't set down people on the other side of the Octagon (even if there was a P5 available) for safety of our guests (drunk or near-drunk people make it an uncomfortable experience for our guests to our city after dark, not an image we want our guests here thinking).
All other proposed changes we are fine with
