[200William-EC] Recovery of costs 200 William Street

Wed Nov 27 11:51:12 EST 2013

I do feel that the 5 visitor parking places should remain just that (as
part of the appeal of the building, along with the roof access, etc) and we
should work out a way to ensure they remain for visitors' use with a 24hr
limit.

We just want to make sure we don"t have a repetition of the woman who
bought a house lower down Dowling St, then bought the 2 commercial spots,
let the vendor remain in one, parked herself in the visitors' and brought
in tradies each morning who were working on her house down to park in other
visitors' spots !!

Tradies working in the building are another matter, and I think they should
be tolerated.

In the next email I'll attach some evidence of the same car parked in the a
visitor's spot since the 16th Nov.

regards,

Di
