AT the Southern Grampians Shire Council’s ordinary meeting on Wednesday night, council presented a report in response to the petition it received against the recent installation of the parking meters in Hamilton’s CBD.

SGSC wellbeing, planning and regulation director, Rory Neeson said the petition against the parking meters asked concerned community members to consider if they believed the new parking meters were detrimental to the shopfront businesses that occupy positions in close vicinity to the parking meters.
