Paid parking on The Strand is a bloody joke. Stop it

I wanna know who came up with this idea? They really didn't think it through!

No doubt paid parking on the Strand, Gregory and Palmer Streets will cause parking dramas in nearby residential streets - particularly during family events - which will be a headache for locals and the councilor when parking spaces are scarce. Paul Anderson

Putting broke families on a tighter budget!

Fewer people will be attending events like the strand and markets due to tough times for many families, thanks to money-hungry councils and governments giving money away overseas. Irene Barnes

I absolutely adore strolling along The Strand and watching families and friends enjoying the great outdoors. It's just so sad to try and put a price tag on this joy! You'd think our council would have had their fill of headaches from all the drama around parking in the city.

Lots of nosy council members. This is gonna mess up our plans. Ashley Thompson

Let's get that paid parking poppin'!!! 🚗 Tired of cruisin' down The Strand just to find no spots for a chill stroll!! I'd totally drop some cash for guaranteed parking on The Strand, no stress in findin' a spot 😎 Logan Harris

When is the TCC gonna spill the beans on how much it's gonna cost for the meters, the extra staff to crack down on rule-breakers, and how long it'll take to start making a profit from all those fees and fines? Zoe Steinberg
