Lunenburg council voted to remove all parking regulations for small-scale businesses.
The town heard from home-based business owners last night about the inpracticality of the by-law requiring parking spaces for customers.
Anna Shoub is happy about the change but thinks there’s more work to be done.
“We have a land use by-law that needs to be studied and see if there are any other places it’s not supportive to small business.”
It was a 4-1 vote by council.
Councillor John McGee thinks their support has been misunderstood.
We’ve been lambasted for I think, completely unfairly, as far as whether we are supportive of home-based businesses or not.”
Shoub says a letter writing campaign and several meetings with council led to the final decision to remove the parking requirements.
