Mr Garrick referred to the way cars were parked outside the old City Council Chamber in Oxford Terrace day and night. He stated that frequently there were so many cars there that they were right outside the line of the footpath, and motorists coming from Worcester Street into Oxford Terrace had to make a. very sharp turning.
