City Hall to split parking meters project

City Hall has backtracked on a deal to allow one company to install parking meters in Georgetown and Astrolobe Technology, a firm which had inked a deal with the previous council but was left out under the new arrangement, will now be part of the project but the agreement still has to be signed.

“The city would be divided into two sections allowing two companies, the National Parking System (NPS) and Astrolobe Technology to put in place parking meters,” City Hall said in a statement last week. According to the statement, the council had approved the proposal for the erection of parking meters for NPS in 1996 and for Astrolobe Technology in 2007.
