Popularity leads to parking problems

The Peninsula Lions Club is asking patrons of its next car boot sale at Rogers Park to respect the rights of Erina Ave residents and observe parking signs and witches hats.

Project chairman Mr Elmo Caust said that the popularity of the monthly sale had led to double parking and cars blocking driveways.

Mr Caust said that if patrons were not prepared to park properly "our only alternative will be to relocate the sale site to the car park area in Dunban Rd - something our Lions Club is very reluctant to consider".

The club's Boot Sale Project has been running for 17 years and has donated at least $20,000 per year into community projects.

"All profits are used to help needy cases in the local area as well as contributions going annually to community needs," said Mr Caust.

"As a result, many thousands of dollars have allowed the Lions to make a difference to individuals and groups but only with the help and co-operation of stallholders and our local community as a whole."

The next car boot sale will be held in Rogers Park, Ocean Beach Rd, on Sunday, November 28.
