Particularly since the Municipality took ownership of Castle Rock, the demand for parking in the area has out paced the available space. We expect to accommodate up to 20 cars in the new space which will alleviate, and hopefully eliminate, the need for road side parking. New signage will also direct people to the entrance and exit driveways (one way). The goal will be to leave the large mature trees in the space to establish a park like setting of its own, and to retain a sound barrier to the neighbouring properties. An eco-toilet is also part of the future plans for the site. ### Author [Erin Lowe](https://news.investchester.ca/en/author/erin-lowe) [elowe@chester.ca](mailto:elowe@chester.ca) ### TAGS - [Local Business (8)](https://news.investchester.ca/en/tag/local-business) - [Nova Scotia (7)](https://news.investchester.ca/en/tag/nova-scotia) - [Chester Municipality (5)](https://news.investchester.ca/en/tag/chester-municipality) - [Arts, Culture & Recreation (4)](https://news.investchester.ca/en/tag/arts-culture-recreation) - [Business Support (1)](https://news.investchester.ca/en/tag/business-support) - [Manufacturing (1)](https://news.investchester.ca/en/tag/manufacturing) ![Chester_Logo_Vert_Colour_Reversed-1](https://news.investchester.ca/hubfs/Chester_Logo_Vert_Colour_Reversed-1.png "Chester_Logo_Vert_Colour_Reversed-1") #### Contact Us Municipality of Chester PO Box 369 151 King Street, Chester Nova Scotia, B0J 1J0 Telephone: [902-275-3554 ](tel:902-275-3554) [ ecodev@chester.ca](mailto:ecodev@chester.ca) - [**](https://www.instagram.com/chestermunicipality/) - [**](https://www.facebook.com/chestermunicipality) - [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/1399430/admin/) - [**](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_uKlob3qOA6eD62x1kK5Kw) #### Quick Links #### Newsletter Stay up to date with the latest News and Chester events.
