Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>MUTARE City Council has assured residents that funds collected from parking fees are being ring-fenced and channelled towards road rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

In a Press statement yesterday, acting town clerk Blessing Chafesuka acknowledged concerns by motorists in the central business district (CBD) regarding parking regulations.<\/p>\n

He said parking areas were being misused by illegal taxi operators and unauthorised vendors selling their wares from parked vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to notify all motorists that parking in and around the CBD requires prepayment. Motorists have been parking for free, particularly in central lots due to lack of clear markings,\u201d Chafesuka said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have begun marking these areas and we will continue to mark more areas for improved enforcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have also noted that these parking areas have been misused by illegal taxi operators and unauthorised vendors selling their wares from parked vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said companies without backyard parking bays would be granted business privileged parking.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder this programme, companies can apply to council through the town clerk\u2019s office and pay US$85 per vehicle,\u201d Chafesuka said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease note that all parking fees are ring-fenced and are channelled towards the repair of our roads, which are currently in poor state.\u201d<\/p>\n

He expressed hope to improve the parking situation in the city in the next few months.<\/p>\n
