This last week has seen the end of the council survey on free parking. While they work on summarising the official survey, perhaps a small indication of what will be the outcome might well be the Greater Shepparton City Council’s Facebook page where, indeed only a relatively small number of comments so far, (23), 100 percent of them point in the direction of favouring the complimentary parking trial with a general consensus that it should be continued.
President of the Shepparton Chamber of Commerce and Industry, John Anderscon said, “We met with the council on the day the survey ended and will reconvene on February 6 to go over the results, again pressing them to extend the trial out for the next 12 months at least.”
While the main survey has ended, the Facebook page remains open and offers a window into what the general population think about this issue. Notable among some of the comments was the desire to have a greater comment than the four questions offered.
The Chamber of Commerce are also conducting an independent survey among traders that concludes next month.
