Porirua City Council hits berm parkers in the pocket

"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.
