No parking hits Fyzabad business

THE EDITOR: On the morning of July 8 2003, along the main road of Fyzabad, two vehicle drivers stopped to buy doubles. They were each given a parking ticket by two police officers who were rightfully executing their duties. This example displays the undue hardship of the Fyzabad business community and the distress of their customers. Between the period 1986-1991 “No Parking” signs were placed on both sides of the main road in Fyzabad. This was not in the best interest of the community of Fyzabad. This action reflects the thoughtlessness of the individuals involved and has a negative impact on commercial activities along the Fyzabad Main Road. While business places along the Fyzabad Main Road are of varying sizes and activities, some are in a position to offer parking facilities to its customers. Most don’t have parking facilities and therefore it is necessary for their customers to park their vehicles on the road. On behalf of the business community of Fyzabad, I am calling on the relevant authorities to remove the “No Parking” signs from both sides of the main road and revert to the system prior to 1986 with alternate parking on different days.
