Poll: Is the increase in disability parking fines fair?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

Venetian plaster finishes are on-trend at the moment, so why not recreate this look at home and cover that unsightly rangehood at the same time?

Hi neighbours

Nadine from Stuff

I'm Nadine, a reporter for Stuff and I'm wanting to do a story about the reality of the festive season for some people.

I'm wanting to talk to an older pensioner who will likely be alone at Christmas and finds it hard to get by on the pension.

Is this you? I'd love to talk to you if possible. I'd need to visit prior to Christmas and on Christmas Day, if possible.

You can email me at nadine.roberts@stuff.co.nz or leave a comment below and I can get in touch.

Thanks for reading!
