TV crowd rattles residents
Television audiences attending The Footy Show and other live programs at Channel 9 are infuriating Richmond residents. People living near Nine's Bendigo St studios say television crowds are pinching their on-street parking and behaving like louts when they leave. Yarra Council has vowed to tackle the parking issue after concerns were raised at a public meeting last week. Bendigo St resident Anne-Marie Purnell said Tuesdays and Thursdays were the busiest days. 'We've been here three years and it has got worse. It's certainly a real headache for us. You pay your rates and you expect to be able to park outside your home,' Ms Purnell said. 'They film their game shows and The Footy Show on Thursday night. It is impossible to park outside my house and we get people parking over our driveway.'
