The Boyd-Wilson Carpark

It was interesting to hear at the AGM on Wednesday was that Phil Sowman (Sports Officer) considers the Boyd-Wilson playing field to be, for all intents and purposes, useless. (Or words to that effect).

He mentioned that the field was closed for last year's entire winter period, and it is apparent to all that the field is at this point already closed, perhaps for this year's entire autumn and winter season. It is also obvious that there exists a chronic lack of parking for cars at this university. In the last month Jamieson's Towaways must have made a fortune towing away cars parked illegally (but mainly harmlessly) in Wai-te-ata Rd. Is that the solution to the university's parking problems?

What I suggest be done is to turn the entire Boyd-Wilson field into student parking. Access could be reasonably gained through Wai-te-ata Rd, and with some minor engineering a road could also be extended from Kelburn Parade.

So what do we as students want? A useless field for the jocko homo's among us, or some convenient parking for the rest of us? (the jocks a lead park down on that part of the road.)
