John st has been found to be the third most lucrative street in NSW, taking in over $1M in parking fines in a 12mth period.

rd in recently jumped to 7th place (from 60th) taking in over 1/2 a million dollars in the same 12mth period.

A recent report found that it was not only the public getting fined, but many shop owners as well and there was a call for more transparency and leniency in some cases. One shopkeeper even says she was given the OK by a parking officer, only to receive a fine in the mail a few weeks later.

Fairfield City Council responded to the report by saying “Council is committed to, and has an obligation to ensuring all residents shopping in our city centres can share in the thousands of parking spaces available across the city.”

You may not realise this, but FCC differs from many other Council areas as they do not charge for on street parking.

What do you think? Too strict or necessary? Have you been fined unfairly?

I WISH TO THANK Fairfield Advance for publishing my letter and photograph relating to the streets where I live in this week’s edition. It’s a story that needed to be gotten out to the wider community.

THIS ALBUM has pics of some of the present state after receiving very recent attention. Be aware they are just a sample of the sights in the CBD. Awful but a bit safer.

THE DAMAGE AND RISKS have been present for too long. People have tripped and the amenity has a very poor look about it.

NBN HAS BEEN RESPONSIVE to reports I have made in the past but in more recent times hasn’t been so, informing me that it had been collaborating with Fairfield Council. I asked a question about it at this month’s council meeting – see the above link. It’s not enough to say it’s a NBN thing. It also is something about which our council should have been more proactive particularly when safety was a consideration.

NBN HAS WRITTEN TO ME again, stating its delivery partner has completed a walk out with the council and has ensured the site is safe and that full restoration is scheduled for approximately six weeks pending delivery of pavers. (The council needs to attend to more than the pavers affected by the NBN work.)

INSPECTION SHOWS that bitumen work has now been done and the precinct is safer to negotiate.

HOWEVER, pieces of bitumen are being trampled into shops and being caught on footwear. It would be a nice gesture if Fairfield Council would remove those pieces. Its street sweeper may not be able to do the job and another form of removal may be needed.

• Existing 165 car spaces replaced with 275 spaces : net gain of just 118 spaces.

= shortage 92 spaces shortage
= more fine

IF you support more traffic fines and pure exploitation of Cabramatta residents. Then continue to be passive bystanders.
