Should Fitzroy Shopping Centre be open to freedom campers?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

However New Plymouth neighbours have banded together to try and stop public car parks from being turned into a freedom camping zone. Councillor Murray Chong says the public facilities near the Fitzroy Shopping Centre would not sustain the 11 vehicle allocation and that campers came to the region to "rest their wallet" so they could pay for attractions in the likes of Taupō and Queenstown.

Local business owners believe that the lack of car parking at the Fitzroy shopping centre is already a problem and that this move will only make the situation worse.
