Large trucks are parking in the streets of a portside town and not in the stop built for them, and authorities want to know why. Photo: CHLOE RANFORD/LDR Representatives from New Zealand's two largest trucking associations say the culprit could be Port Marlborough's parking fees, but the port suspects truckies like being near their accommodation in Picton. Whatever the reason, residents in the port town are divided on whether a solution should be worked into its redevelopment project, needed to make way for KiwiRail's new, larger Cook Strait ferries. Residents have already given up part of an old rugby pitch for a truck stop after roads damaged by the Kaikōura earthquake left trucks arriving out of sync with ferries, and waiting around town.
