Parking instead of loading?

Gosford Council's traffic committee will investigate a request for a one-hour parking restriction to replace the loading zone in Chambers Place, north of Arcade Ave, Woy Woy.

A local business asked for the change through Cr Chris Holstein, who declared a non-pecuniary interest in relation to the matter.

The business stated that the purpose of the changed parking conditions would be "to maximize the retail potential of the nearby businesses".

Council's traffic committee noted that, as recently as February 2006, it had recommended the provision of the loading zone, at which time it considered that there was adequate one-hour parking located nearby in the council car park.
