Plans to charge for more hours of parking have been put on hold.
Motorists in Palmerston North will get at least one week’s respite from the proposed increases in parking meter hours. The city council had planned to put charges up and introduce new hours for paid parking from July 1, doing away with free parking on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings and abolishing free parking on Sundays. However, mayor Grant Smith has lodged a notice of motion asking councillors to vote on a pause in proceedings for four to six weeks to consult businesses and the public.
Parking changes likely to be stopped with only hours to spare
