Attending events in Newtown: Do not be intimidated by 'car guards'

If you are attending a major event in Newtown be alert - The Newtown Management District warns visitors not to be intimated by entrepreneurial 'car guards' who poach patrons from designated parking areas. These 'car guards' demand a fee of R50 or more because, according to the 'car guard', there is no more parking available anywhere else. Ignore these 'car guards' and proceed to Newtown designated parking at Market Theatre, 1 Central Place, Mary Fitzgerald Square, the Bassline or Sci-Bono. (refer to map)
