Mayor assures city council support for gov’t position on parking project

City Mayor Patricia Chase-Green has said that she is “in full support” of the suspension of the parking meter project for the next three months, while noting that the Georgetown muni-cipality will support government’s position on the issue under her leadership.

Chase-Green’s comments were made at a scheduled statutory meeting yesterday and came in the light of the government’s decision last week to suspend the by-laws for the metered parking after the city council delayed in acting on a previous directive to do so.

Chase-Green was out of the jurisdiction when councillors voted at a special meeting to delay ratifying an order for the suspension made by Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan in order for time to study a legal opinion on the move.
