A new parliamentary proposal to provide much-needed car parking spaces in residential areas, in a bid to respond to increasing tensions and disputes amongst neighbours, was approved unanimously by MPs yesterday.
The move, spearheaded by Strategic Thinking Bloc member Bassema Mubarak, obliges the government to ensure sufficient parking spaces are provided, aiming to alleviate conflicts and improve living conditions in densely populated urban and suburban areas due to car parking scarcity.
“Parking has become a significant concern in many cities, as urbanisation has led to higher population densities and a corresponding increase in the number of vehicles,” said Ms Mubarak.
