Councils should tackle car parking woes

PENANGITES have been facing the perennial problem of finding public car parking spaces in commercial areas, as many of them are taken up by office workers for long periods of time – usually more than eight hours.

The Consumers’ Association of Penang (CAP) calls on the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) and Seberang Perai Municipal Council (MBSP) to introduce regulations to limit the time one can park in a public parking lot, for example not more than two hours.
