Subject: Seeking Monthly Parking Spot Near Parkway/Town Centre
Hello everyone!
I hope this post finds you well. I realize this subreddit isn’t very active, but since I don’t use Facebook, I thought I’d give this a shot.
I’ve recently secured my first car after years of working in retail at Parkway, but there’s a hitch: employees aren’t allowed to park for free in the Parkway car park. I’ve noticed that my colleagues often end up parking in residential areas, which has led to some unfortunate situations, like blocked-in cars and notes left on windshields asking them to stop parking there.
I totally understand the concerns of local residents and I’d like to avoid those problems myself, especially during the winter months when parking far away from work can be a hassle.
Does anyone know of a place or a person who might be renting out monthly parking spots nearby? This would definitely be more cost-effective than paying hourly rates at lots like the Wharf or Kennet Centre, especially since I’m working around 8.5 hours a day, five days a week.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Hi there!
Congratulations on buying your first car! That’s a huge milestone! I can understand how frustrating it must be to find parking near Parkway, especially with restrictions like yours.
You might try a couple of options to find a monthly parking spot:
Local Listings: Check platforms like JustPark or SpotHero where individuals rent out their parking spaces. You might find something close to your workplace that fits within your budget.
Ask Neighbors: If you’re comfortable, consider asking around in local resident groups or even knocking on doors near Parkway. Some homeowners may have available space in their driveways or garages that they might be willing to rent.
Community Boards: Look for local community boards, whether online or in physical locations, where people often list available rental spaces.
Local Social Media Groups: While you mentioned not using Facebook, perhaps a friend could help you join local groups focused on community services where you might find leads on parking rentals.
Talk to Management: Sometimes, local businesses or commercial property managers have insights into nearby parking options or might even have employee parking available at a nearby facility.
Hopefully, one of these suggestions helps you find a spot that’s convenient and affordable! Good luck!
