BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, SEPTEMBER 26TH 2007 (CUOPM) - Six months after the institution of a no-parking policy on Fort Street in down town Basseterre, Government has mandated a study to scientifically glean public opinion on the matter.
According to the post Cabinet statement, the review is in response to numerous suggestions being made by the public.
Cabinet said it is aware that the no-parking policy, introduced with the hosting of World Cup 2007 matches in St. Kitts, has created increased pressure for parking space at a time when the number of vehicles on the road is increasing due to an improvement in the quality of life of nationals and residents as a result of the economic progress.
“This review is consistent with government’s practice to consult the citizens and residents in matters that directly affect members of the public,” said Minister of State for Information, Sen. the Hon. Nigel Carty.
~~Adz:Right~~ He encouraged citizens and residents to give their feedback on the no-parking policy that has been in existence for the past six months so that the best solution can be arrived at.
