CARS AT DAY’S BAY

NEW PARKING PLACE WANTED Every fine Sunday sees increasing difficulties cropping' up at Day’s Bay in tegard to parking the hundreds of cars whose drivers make that picturesque spot their objective. Last Sunday the flanks of the main road on either side of the wharf entrance were closely occupied by parked cars, whilst at the Kereru Road end, the pavilion grounds were crowded with cars. With the prospect of a big increase in this traffic, following the completion of the bitumen track, it is urged that something will have to be done to pro vide parking ground. There is, for tunately, a handy place available alone the sea front, in a triangle of unfencea land, between the entrance to Croydon School and Ferry Road, a Valuable reserve, grown with stinted pines and weeds, which present a shabby and unkept appearance at any time of the year. Were these trees cut away, and the area ’roughly levelled, this would provide space for a couple of hundred ears at a place handy to the beach and the picnic grounds. The matter, it if said, is really one for the Hutt Count) Council to take up, as it is understood that this corner reserve is vested in that body.
