Foul or fair play?: 'Car-free' Christchurch street overrun with parked cars
Hi neighbours,
Barriers have been pushed aside and signs removed in the pursuit of free parking in central Christchurch, as charges are about to increase by almost 50 per cent.
A bunch of motorists have pounced on a once car-free lane that stretches across several Christchurch blocks. It is now lined with vehicles parking for free.
Huanui Lane, which runs through Rauora Park, is a shared zone for pedestrians, cars and cyclists, but has yet to officially open to vehicles.
A case of brazen parking thieves? Or a reasonable solution to a lack of central city parking?
Let us know below.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
