No concern for our infrastructure

Cr Craig Doyle made the comment: "If we stopped every development simply because they couldn't provide enough parking, nothing would ever happen", in Peninsula News Monday, November 14.

This is a sad reflection on a council that is showing no concern for infrastructure of the Peninsula.

These decisions should be taken and rescued from the onset of any development proposal, not left for someone else to clean up any mess later.

Any financial contribution made to "provide future parking" will more than likely be used for some other purpose.

With the condition of the roads, kerbs, guttering and drainage in the area, this council should be addressing these issues now, not creating more.

I am glad the Boeing aircraft corporation do not use Cr Doyle's philosophy when building its planes.
