Mom’s bays should be easy to make

The response from Lifestyle Centre’s representative to the mom’s letter (Where’s the parking for moms?, December 25) was that they have “engaged with a number of mums as to where the most appropriate place to park would be”.
It seems to me that someone has been taking their operating cues from local government – maybe a committee will be formed and in another 10 years a half-hearted attempt will be made? Come on! For all intents and purposes, the owners/operators of Lifestyle are a small business. All it takes is the will to do it, and parking spots for moms could be up the following day!
I’ll get them started – there are four spots directly in front of Alpha Pharmacy – BANG – now they’re spots for moms with kids. Change the four spots in front of the post office – BAM! Four more! Directly in front of Spar – where the main parking starts – take eight stalls and re-paint to create six spots for moms. POW! Just like that you have 14 spots for parents with small children. It’s a start. Whenever their “engaging” is complete they can add more in strategic places.
I don’t think anyone will argue that Lifestyle has been in business for far long enough where this should have been sorted out long ago. Delays or “engaging” instead of simple action can only be seen as not caring.
