Something to consider

Dear Editor:

RE: Council approves paid parking bylaw but argues for more exemptions per household, Dec. 18.

I just wanted to weigh in a bit on the discussion going forward about the village of Elora and paid parking.

In the past we had firsthand experience with this – not in Elora obviously but on the beautiful Bruce Peninsula, and more specifically in the village of Lions Head and Tobermory.

It might be helpful for Centre Wellington officials to contact council on the Northern Bruce Peninsula and get it right from the horse’s mouth, so to speak.

As we were summer residents there, but not municipal taxpayers, we did not qualify for free parking. Thus it often was simpler to head south and shop in Wiarton where parking was open to all.

Perhaps an idea to consider?
