Now the management company are telling me that visitors are only allowed park for 24 hours and only 2 days a week . I often have family and friends come visit for weekends and I know a lot of my neighbours do too. Our car park has never been full. Is this just a money racket for the clamping company?

My friend's car was clamped once because I forgot to register him on a visitor space. So no, it isn't anything new.

I'm in another part of Waterville and we don't have designated parking so only use them for people not parking in spaces. Text number and area code should be on their signs in Erris, I know they are on the signs in my friend's estate in Coolmine.

There are no signs about parking restrictions or visitor parking. There are 3 cars in my house so I am just wondering how to work the parking. Any information appreciated.
Caranica wrote: » Those spaces belong to the clusters or neighbouring clusters (eg only the spaces above Garnish Square and the first set of spaces below garnish belong to Garnish, the further down spaces belong to Aran Court. They may not be subject to enforcement just yet but could be at a later stage. I'd also consider those spaces to be high risk for opportunistic break ins. How do you have 3 cars? Leases only allow for one car plus a share of visitor parking unless it's a 4 bed unit where it's 2 plus a share of visitor. Any more than two is asking for trouble with the management company.

They are not acting in the interest of the residents and the Management Company which actually employs them and would be appearing to put revenue gathering first.
