VEHICLES parked around the perimeters of the Bank of Guyana (BoG) will not be required to pay for parking, Georgetown Mayor, Patricia Chase-Green, has said following a meeting with representatives of the bank on Thursday.Only recently, employees of the bank had their vehicle wheels clamped by agents of Smart City Solutions for allegedly double parking.

Soon after the incident, bank officials approached the M&CC to negotiate for parking arrangements.

After much deliberation, a decision was made in the favour of the bank to have free parking around the area.

“The bank occupies spaces around their building for parking, where there are parking meters… so after three meetings with the bank we have agreed that for vehicles parking on the northern, western and southern side of the bank, a sticker will be provided and they’ll park for free,” said the Mayor.
