For Commissioner of Police (Ag.)
All this is fabulous but I wish the current administration would do a similar job for all the major towns with parking restrictions starting with St George’s as a role model for the other parishes.
At present the town of St George’s have too many vehicles parked on key roads which causes traffic issues during the day.
We have sufficient traffic wardens to manage the area so why not put Red route all along the main area in the town and use the traffic wardens to manage it.
