We're not city's car park, fume residents

CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED AFTER MOTORISTS BRING MISERY TO STREETS

A CAMPAIGN has been launched to tell motorists that Ardwick is 'not the car park of the city!

The campaign, supported by a councillor in the area, was launched in December because residents in the suburb 'have had enough, activists say.

The group called Not The Car Park Of The City (NTCP) - says there has been an 'influx of city centre commuters, university staff and students and hospital staff and visitors' parking on residential roads 'in recent years! There are also concerns about the proposed development which could come to the area that would see a 12-storey, 14-storey and 29-storey buildings housing thousands of students - plus a nine-storey science building - built on Upper Brook Street.

Now, NTCP says it is 'advocating for viable solutions to alleviate the parking burden on local residents.
