Poll: Do you use all-day CBD parking?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

On-street all-day parking rates at some central city locations will become cheaper for workers and other long-stay visitors parking in central Hamilton.

Starting on Monday, Hamilton City Council introduced lower pricing at selected all-day parking locations where occupancy is below 85% making it more cost-effective for those looking to park in the city longer every day.
