Parking wardens ticketing cars in empty Wellington streets

Reporter Community News

The Wellington City Council has broken precedent and a nationwide trend by sending its parking wardens out ticketing more than 800 cars during alert level 3.
The council deemed all parking free during 2020's alert level 4 and all but one day of level 3 but not this time around. A look around central Wellington streets late on Saturday morning found many empty parks but most of those cars that were parked had been ticketed. Some stretches of road had tickets on every parked car.
Do you think parking should be free in lockdown?
