1 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 6,1989 Parking Rates Double From Page One Mr. Webster concluded by saying that there was a lot of discussion concerning concerning the increase before the BIA gave their agreement to it. "I was pleased the town allowed the BIA to have some input. It was good co-operation between the town and the downtown," he added. A report from the town's planning staff said they considered an approach Whitby Town Council had recently taken whereby the town plans to avoid paying the provincial tax by providing free parking in municipally-owned lots. To recover the loss of revenue, Whitby intends to increase the cost of on-street parking to $1 an hour. Newcastle planning staff suggested the Province of Ontario would eventually eventually find a way to counter such creative creative methods as Whitby has undertaken undertaken and added that raising the cost of on-street parking "would not be conducive conducive to promote shopping in the downtown downtown area." This is the first parking rate increase increase the town has implemented in two years.

The name of their road isn't changing. Members of Newcastle's general purpose and administration administration committee decided on Monday that the name of the road would stay the same despite the request of a resident to change it. Jim Hale appeared before the committee on Monday requesting the change. He said it had always been known as "Hale Road" until a year ago when it was changed to "Stapleton Road" "Not to be greedy but to solve the problem," Mr. Hale suggested both names be used on the road. : Councillor Ken 'Hooper said although it made no difference difference to him what the road was called, he said he was afraid that the matter would be coming back to council again. "I'm wondering if someone someone else comes in with a letter letter if we'll change the name again?" he said. "I think we have to make up our minds. If we pass a by-law, I think we have to do it and not come back in six months for reconsideration reconsideration of it," he added. Councillor Diane Hamre said the name of the road was changed because residents residents in tne area objected to the former name. She said they felt "Hale Road" was a reminder of the fight they went through to stop the dump from expanding. She said if council went with the suggestion of Mr. Hale and gave the road a double name, council would be setting a precedent. The regional councillor said she couldn't recall three instances in which a change was requested after the naming of a road last year.
