Protecting underground infrastructure and keeping footpaths clear for pedestrians were the main reasons for the ticketing blitz.
PCC manager of monitoring and compliance Leonie McPhail said there were important reasons for keeping berms clear.
"Important infrastructure, such as pipes and cables for water and internet, run directly under the berms to connect homes to various networks. They cost a lot to repair should they get damaged. We also need to ensure the paths are clear especially for people using mobility scooters or pushing prams," McPhail said.

He's developing a growing popularity, and even though he's a solid swimmer this stuff is obviously not without its risks.
So what do people think?

Hi neighbours,

Both coffee and controversy is brewing in wider Wellington region at the moment on the topic of prams in cafes.
A cafe in Petone doesn't allow buggies and prams in the cafe when two designated areas up front by the window are full. This is due to space and safety reasons. However, some mums have hit out saying it isn't "child friendly". Other cafes have now chimed into the debate. We want to know your thoughts on the topic.
Are you a mum with a pram that's been turned away from a cafe? Or perhaps you're a business owner that struggles to fit prams on the premise. Perhaps you're a customer with an opinion to share. Let us know your thoughts in the replies! (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff)
