So it’s well-received news that one city council is introducing ‘female-friendly’ parking spaces as part of a trial in an attempt to improve safety for women.

Talking to news.com.au, City of Perth chief executive Martin Mileham has said this trial will not specifically disadvantage the men of Perth and hopes they will support the three-month trial. Mileham stated, “men won’t be fined if they park in the bays but the City encourages men to support this trial”.
It is yet to be known if the trial will be brought to other areas. Bravo City of Perth.
