Poll: Are you paying too much for parking?

Cost of living has been on our minds lately, and one cost often lamented in our office is parking.

We all know that New Zealanders pay high parking fees! But research shows that the cost is driven by factors such as location, quality, and convenience.

The average daily parking fee being paid in CBDs:
$39.53 in Auckland,
$37.83 in Wellington,
and $32.60 in Christchurch.

But again, the range is wild! Aucklanders could be paying anything from $12 to $80, Wellingtonians from $15 to $50, and if you are in Christchurch, you are looking at $10 to $98.

Neighbours, we want to know: How much are you paying for daily parking fees?

Do you have any tips on how to find cheaper parks?

The washing machine had been standing in our garage for sometime so I decided to test it. Unfortunately one of the belts seems to be worn and is sometimes squealing. So I am not prepared to sell it in that condition. You can have it for free if you want it still. It does seem work OK apart from the occasional squeal
