The results of a survey posted on a new website for the discussion of parking policy in Cork indicates that towing and clamping policy is viewed by many as being designed to fill council coffers rather than control traffic in the city.
Launched this week, the website - www.corkcitytowingandclamping.com - was designed to be a forum for discussing parking policies and is not associated with Cork City Council.
Up to 75 per cent of drivers surveyed think that the towing and clamping system is designed to make money for the city, with 73 per cent saying that the council is over-zealous in relation to parking enforcement.
Some 63 per cent think that parking costs should be halved at weekends while 50 per cent say parking should be allowed in loading bays on Saturdays.
