REDCLIFFS Pharmacy owner
Daryl Sayer is calling for more
parking restrictions in the
area.
There is only one park outside
his business – but it has no time
limit and vehicles sometimes
stay parked in it all day.
He said people enjoy
convenience and if there is no
car park available, they will
drive past.
“Restricting parking in a
small number of key areas in
Redcliffs will stop people from
using the parks longer-term (in
some cases all day), thus making
them more easily available for
someone who wishes to ‘pop in’
to a shop or business.”
Mr Sayer said the
implementation of p120 at
the eastern end of the village,
opposite the New World
supermaket had prompted him
to take action.
He has approached the
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board and is
hoping the city council will
look at extending the
restrictions.
Business operators in
Redcliffs had been discussing
the topic for some time, Mr
Sayer said.
“We frequently have
customers commenting on the
availability (or lack) of the car
parks that are provided on the
street. We need to encourage

people who live in the area to
support their local businesses –
use it or lose it.”
Board member Darrell
Latham said he has asked a city
council traffic engineer to look
into it.
“I can certainly see it’s
an issue of concern,” he
said.

DRIVER HITS BRIDGE
A tourist was left teetering on
the side of a bridge on Barrys
Bay Valley Rd after ploughing
into the side of a single lane
structure about 1pm on Sunday.
The 77-year-old driver hit the left
hand side of the bridge, breaking
the railing. No other vehicles
were involved and no one was
injured in the crash.

Three umbrellas have been
proposed as the best way to
provide shade at Scarborough
Playground where a tree was
cut down – two where the old
swings are, and one over the
nature play area. The cost of each
umbrella is $7500. Picnic table
may also put under each of the
umbrellas, costing about $3900.
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board will discuss
the proposal at their meeting
tomorrow.
