It’s great news parking in Girne is a nightmare especially around the law courts !
The big problem is with owners of businesses who put up signs outside their premises to stop the public parking ! These owners should be fined as they don’t own the road outside their premises !
Also shopkeepers should realise that if the public can’t park near their premises they lose business !
The car parks are not just for the public they are also for owners of businesses too !
Well said Graham
Parking in Girne has always been a problem and perhaps at last we are going to see major improvements
