“The problem is, if you want a disabled space there you’ve got to do away with three parking spaces.”
Cr Slattery said the residents have attended two mayoral consultations including last Friday’s meeting to complain about parking concerns on Parker Street.

He said that Cootamundra residents are spoiled with parking options and it’s easy enough to find a convenient parking space in town.
