The reconfiguration of the traffic system as well as the upgrading of the road structure in the vicinity of the Institute of Tourism Studies in Pembroke is most welcome; except for the fact that it has drastically reduced the amount of parking slots available.

It has now become a nightmare to find a parking place available, and this problem is set to grow when more people go to the beach when school days are over, in particular during the weekend.

I have one suggestion to make: The tens of parking slots available within the ITS complex should be open to the public to ease this problem.

This should be done at a nominal fee of €1 per car, and I am sure that this will bring in some money for the ITS as well as make it much easier for people to find a parking place.

It is such a pity that so much space is wasted in an area which cries for more parking slots.
