Ian Kingston, Mullumbimby
I am concerned at the apparent loss of parking spaces proposed in the centre of Mullum under the Green Spine proposal – by my reckoning about 45 spaces from Tincogan to Whian St.
It is proposed that current spaces towards the Museum and past St Martins be ‘formalised’ to compensate.
Whilst I understand concepts such as ‘Walkable town centre’, ‘Shared spaces’, ‘Talking street’, and ‘Bosque areas’, this should not be at the expense of car spaces close to centre – essential for oldies such as me!
Frankly I cannot envisage the chaos if car-free days in Burringbar Street are implemented!
Council should perhaps look at using S94 funds to purchase property in Mullum for car parks.
