The decision was made at a Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board meeting last week and the project will now be brought to city council for final sign-off. The project to transform the centre, which runs down Ferry Rd, will result in the loss of 14 on-street car parks. The original 2016 Woolston Village Centre upgrade proposal, which did not go ahead, would have resulted in the removal of 48 on-street car parks. In spite of the new plan reducing this number, Woolston Pharmacy owner Simon Payne said business owners and shoppers will still be worse off if these parks are lost. “It is definitely negative for our customers. It will be negative for the whole shopping area, really.” “If you don’t have car parks that are convenient, then people are just going to drive on by.” From a pharmacy’s point of view, we get a lot of people who are injured, immobile, or have low mobility due to long-term health conditions . . . it is very inconvenient if they can’t park nearby where they want to go.” •Turn to page 4 CONTENTIOUS: Business owners are concerned a plan to upgrade the Woolston Village Centre will result in the loss of 14 on-street car parks along Ferry Rd.
