City Manager to crack down on illegal RT parking
According to a Government Information Services (GIS) press release issued on May 30, 2018, Mrs Braithwaite-Edwards stated that her office is continuing efforts to ensure that “there is adequate parking in Road Town and one of the challenges faced is that of illegal parking".
Mrs Braithwaite-Edwards said that it is illegal to park on Crown land without authorisation and that her office is moving forward with reinstating fences in these areas to minimise this occurrence. She is also reminding persons to refrain from parking illegally within the confines of the city and to be mindful of how vehicles are parked to maximise space, especially during the day.
No parking zone
She added that NO PARKING zones for unauthorised heavy equipment and containers include (but is not limited to):
Lower Estate Sugar Works
Festival Grounds
Central Administration Complex (east and seaside)
Plot of land behind Jalaya Place
North of the Fire Headquarters
Lower Estate sidewalks
Parking Lot adjacent Peebles Hospital
Road Laybys
Government Spokeswomen Nekita Turnbull noted that “Permission should be sought from the Office of the City Manager for temporary offloading space in Road Town. For more information, please contact the City Manager by telephone at 441-8800."

Why not invest in parking meters? Hire persons to check and enforce these meters - win win for everyone! It’s not rocket science!! Have specific times and demarcated areas for un-loading goods. As for the food vendors - utilize the Festival grounds for them that way there’s plenty parking and space for the crowds. That land is under-utilized and those vendors need a suitable location especially after the storms displaced so many businesses.
Seems like the current government has issues thinking outside the box and taking on any meaningful recommendations unless it lines their own bank accounts for life!
I have always taken the view that you can park wherever you want in the BVI. I assumed that was correct, but now don't know where I am allowed to park.
Can this sore sight be removed so that the spaces can be utilized adequately?
