Mayor Ron Clarke parked in his hybrid car, outside of Southport Central
Falling short of dishonouring God who appoints all civil leadership (That's what my bible says) I would like to hold Mayor Ron Clarke accountable for his leadership over the City of the Gold Coast in light of recent issues.

In today’s paper Mayor Clarke admits he has trouble finding a carpark so he parks illegally. Before we even talk Rapid Transit System or his refusal to acknowledge the growth of the city, and it’s current needs stemming from that growth and it’s current trajectory, the Mayor cannot find a carpark.

I love the fact he doesn’t have a driver, and he drives a Prius but I especially love that he can’t find a car park, because it’s a situation that I’ve been in more than once. The difference being in my situation is that I won’t pay $35 for a good park and I’m not good mates with the parking inspectors.

It’s good that we find out our Mayor is just as human as us and just as troubled by our City’s woes as we are, if only he would now act on it.

Upgrade the public transport way past our needs, and encourage growth, in all areas of the city, not just the developments that line your pockets Ron.

You can’t live a lie forever Ron.
