Driving alone into Byron Bay for work every week you are taking away parking from customers and clients of businesses where you work.

Yes, some businesses have off-street parking. Stop complaining about parking charges and save money by car sharing!

With a little sacrifice and more vision you can make Byron Bay a more pleasant place to work and visit.

Butler Street Reserve can then remain for markets and other events.

Park and ride schemes in Europe work brilliantly.

Please join in the carpool and add your support for the introduction of a Park & Ride Scheme for Byron Bay.

Doug Luke, Mullumbimby
