Following recent changes to the width of car spaces at the Saratoga Village Shops, visitors to the shops are having trouble parking and exiting their vehicles. 

Quotes attributable to Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP:

“I have made urgent representations to Central Coast Council Administrator, Mr Rik Hart, about car spaces being too narrow at the Saratoga Village Shops.

“Council recently made the decision to change the width of the car spaces at a Local Traffic Committee meeting, to create an additional two car spaces.

“The changes have now been implemented and are causing inconvenience for the community, as the existing car space widths have been reduced.

“People living with a disability, families with children and prams, are struggling to exit their vehicles without damaging the adjacent vehicle.

“Central Coast Council needs to use commonsense when making decisions.

“Council have said they consulted the community, but when I spoke to anyone in the area, nobody seemed to be aware of any consultation.

“I will continue to advocate on behalf of our community until this matter is addressed”, said Dr Reid.
