PARKING METERS

Woodville Independents acknowledge that council has spent $4 million introducing parking meters into areas of Parramatta and that this tax cannot be easily reversed. However, we believe that their presence should not be expanded within the City and that a review of the existing parking fees and charges needs to occur so that perhaps, a more practical outcome of users within the CBD can be discussed.

Equally, the distribution of the tax collected by the council needs to more fairly reflect the entire community and not just the City Centre as is presently the case.

The community need to be able to benefit from the revenue raised in the face of the run down condition of local neighbourhood centres.
