No space

No space

Sir—Something that is becoming increasingly more obvious is the difficulties one encounters in finding a satisfactory, legal, car parking space in the vicinity of this university.

Recently I received a traffic offence notice for parking in the zone restricted for motor cycles in Kelburn Parade, even though the time was 4.30 p.m. and only about one quarter of this tone was being used.

On Wednesday, 22 May at 3.00 p.m. I made some observations in Kelburn Parade and at a conservative estimate there was room in this restricted zone for another 70 motor cycles. However, the owners of 32 motor cycles found it necessary to park outside their allocated space, and in so doing deprived 15 car users of satisfactory parking spaces.

I do not begrudge the motor cyclists their parking area, hut I write this letter to bring attention to the ignorance or tnoughtlessness of the large number of motor cyclists attending this university.
