You may have thought that parking was someone else's problem - but parking is an issue that affects us all. That's because every journey we make ends with a parking experience. Whether you're travelling to school, to work, to the shops or to the sports field, and whether you're travelling by car, in a bus, on a motorbike or a bicycle - at the end of your journey you'll need to park. Even people who aren't travelling are being affected by the growing demand for parking. Apartment and townhouse developments are leading to trees and gardens being replaced with sealed areas to park cars.
Parking is everyone's issue.
The cause of our current parking crisis isn't hard to understand - too many cars are competing for too few car parks. Each journey ends with a need for parking, creating additional demand. Satisfying the demand for ever increasing parking may not be possible without the loss of Garden City values green gardens being replaced with concrete car parks. The challenge is not finding someone or something to blame, but finding alternatives to providing more car parks. We think our Garden City is too precious to risk losing.
