STREET SEALING IMPEDED
MOTORISTS IGNORE SIGNS “No parking” signs erected to allow trucks to carry materials for surfacing of footpaths in the central area had been pushed into the channel by motorists, who had parked their cars along the path, the works committee reported last evening to the City Council. As a result of the motorists’ action, it was necessary to rope off a length of street—a day’s work—to give access to the trucks. Surfacing has begun on paths in Gloucester street east of Manchester street, Reporting on street sealing, the committee further said that some difficulty was being experienced with parked cars, especially in the. central area. Notices were put out so that the roadway alongside the kerb could be kept clear for sealing operations, but these were no longer effective. New notices indicating that sealing was to be done were being made and it was hoped that these would bring the co-opera-tion of the motorist.
