Poll: Does one hour free parking entice you to visit the central city?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

The one-hour free parking offer in Christchurch City Council-owned parking buildings is coming to an end on Monday August 31.

The three-month offer was introduced to support central city retail and hospitality businesses recovering from the Covid-19 lockdown.

The Lichfield Street and Christchurch Art Gallery parking buildings will charge normal rates from Monday.

Does an hour of free parking make you more likely to visit the CBD?

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.

But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
