Vogeltown businesses unhappy about street revamp. Are you affected?
Businesses involved in a New Plymouth street revamp are petitioning against the proposed changes because of the potential of more than a dozen parking spaces being removed.
Shaina Groombridge, owner of Headz Upp, said "it's hard to find a carpark in the area as it was" and she's "fighting for her business but at the same time she's fighting for the community".
What are your thoughts? Will your business be affected or do you think these changes are for the better?
