Paid parking is now a reality in Georgetown. While some seem to have no issue with the new system, many are objecting. Observations over the last week have revealed many uninhabited parking spaces. Some have also noted that the there is less vehicular congestion. I have seen meter maids lingering near the meters or guarding the dreaded clamps. There are drivers who have already faced the penalty of having a clamp placed on their vehicles, including former president Donald Ramotar, who was said to have been parked illegally near Freedom House on Robb Street. Even a student of the Bishops’ High School was a victim of the dreaded clamp.
