A LOG is being kept of damage to Inglewood’s historic Brooke Street verandahs as efforts ramp up to have designated parking areas for large trucks and caravans.
The town’s development and tourism committee secretary Pauline Wellman said the log would be used in future requests to Regional Roads Victoria to address local concerns.
Mrs Wellman said there was an incident last week where a large vehicle damaged a verandah.
She said the latest damage had been seen the owner of the large vehicle agree to pay for repairs.
Brooke Street traders have raised concerns for their verandahs and called for large vehicles to park in bays in sections of the street without verandahs.
IDTC last month gave its backing to those calls and Mrs Wellman said the log of incidents would be “of future reference when we come to asking for help from Regional Roads Victoria”.
