The dispute comes in the aftermath of last Monday's council meeting, where councillors approved plans to put 30 minute time restrictions on five parking spaces on that street.

IN OTHER NEWS:

The street is an industrial hub predominantly used by mechanics, truck-drivers, steelworkers, and a variety of tradies.

The time-restricted parking was requested by Riverina Wholesale Bakery owner Jo Carruthers, who said her potential customers were being blocked off by cars and utes that would park in front of her shop all day long.

"We're thankful that council listened, came and spent the time with us, and we're happy council have taken that on board," she said.

However, the timed restrictions have angered other business owners along Mortimer Place, who say council never consulted them about the decision.

One disgruntled business owner is Ross Vidler, who said council was taking away their already-scarce parking spaces for the benefit of one business to the detriment of the others.

Mr Vidler said council had previously asked him to build his own parking spaces at significant personal cost, and that the bakery should be expected to do the same.

"It shouldn't have been approved. You can't do that just because they reckon they're having a hard time - they've got to supply their own parking," Mr Vidler said.

"I just think it's their problem. The people who bought it should have known there's no car parking there before they got it. It's simple."

The Daily Advertiser asked council what their consultation process was, however they declined to answer.

Crockers Auto Electrical owner Noel Crocker said he was happy for timed parking to exist in front the bakery, but was upset it stretched further down the street.

"I can see their point - they need somewhere for people to come in and out quickly - but not in front of [another business]. We don't have enough spaces for our customers here as it is," Mr Crocker said.

"This is probably one of the busiest dead-end streets in Wagga, I reckon, with all the trucks. It's actually dangerous getting out of our driveway."

Bakery owner Jo Carruthers said none of the other business owners had come into the shop to air their complaints in person.

"They don't have to park in front of businesses and have it sitting there all day. We're a business that needs to have people to be able to park, come in, buy their products, and go," Ms Carruthers said.

"Giving a time restriction was the only way we were going to be able to do that. They should understand that, because they run businesses themselves."

Ross' brother and former deputy mayor Lindsay Vidler, who founded Vidler's Automative in the 70s, said that street had become progressively more crowded over the decades while permanent parking spaces were decreased.

"The council has let it get out of control and they've done nothing about it, that's my opinion," Mr Vidler said.

"I'm disappointed in council. They say they've had community consultation, but I can't find anyone they've spoken with."
