Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on carpool parking at sports fields, pools or community centres. It is great to see your thoughts on the topic.

At poll closure we received 50 votes, 62% said they would carpool to a sports field, pool or an event at a community centre if there was designated parking for those that carpool, and 38% said no.

Among the feedback received on Facebook key themes were:

• Support for public transport improvements to provide an alternative to driving a car

• Holding matches/tournaments closer to where the teams are from to encourage more active transport

• Difficult to monitor and enforce

• Carpooling is not always an option when people are doing multiple trips at different destinations on the same day

As we work towards reducing the city’s carbon emissions, making better uses of road space, and moving more people using fewer vehicles, we want to consider any and all options that could help us do so. Carpooling is one course of action that could lead towards achieving goals the city is striving towards.

Please continue to vote on our quick polls! They are just one of the ways we will be seeking your feedback on how we manage parking. There are just a couple left before our formal public consultation opens on 16 March.

If you have registered you will receive an email to tell you when the consultation is open.
