The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GGCI) will be undertaking an expert review of the amended parking meter by-laws, which were passed by the city council last week, according to President of the Chamber Deodat Indar, who says any objections would be submitted to the city and Ministry of Communities.

Speaking at a press conference at the GGCI’s headquarters on Waterloo Street, Georgetown yesterday, Indar said that the Chamber wants to ensure it is doing as much as it can to serve its members in light of the furore that arose over the implementation of the paid parking system last year.

“We see it arising again with the new by-laws. The by-laws are somewhere around 76 pages and we have to get our experts to go through them to ensure we find areas that we believe [are] not good for the city,” Indar said, before adding that after the review, the Chamber would submit any objections to the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) and the Ministry of Communities.
