PARKING PROBLEM
“METERS PROVIDE NO SOLUTION ” (hlew Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON. October 15. Parking meters provide no solution to the parking problem, in the view of Sir Frank Newson-Smith, a member of the council of the British Automobile Association and a former Lord Mayor of London, who arrived in the Gothic today. Sir Frank Newson-Smith said that metered parking spaces had to provide for the biggest cars, and that meant fewer cars could be parked along a stretch of kerb. He also felt that parking meter revenue should be set aside separately by local bodies so that it could be used for the building of multi-storeyed parking buildings, which would do something real towards relieving the shortage of parking space. Sir Frank Newson-Smith, who visited New Zealand in 1949, will be in the Dominion until the middle of February.
