And your suggestions are?
Sadly, we live in an age where there are people who feel that the definition of right and wrong is what you can get way with. In strata, that is compounded by a feeling by some people that their circumstances are special or that stupid things like by-laws don’t apply to them.
It only takes one or two such people to disrupt the amicable give and take of a civilised strata community. Who hasn’t parked their car in visitor parking for a brief period when it made sense to do so? The problem is the people I described above who feel entitled to do what they want when they want.
Yes, it’s a shame that we are all suddenly liable to be fined for parking over the lines (for instance) in our own car parks. But I would imagine council parking inspectors would not be being invited into strata schemes where everyone behaved reasonably and that’s the price we pay for living next door to antisocial a-holes.
However, it is something else we have to threaten the selfish sods with – “park illegally again and we’ll call in the parking wardens.”
