Poll: Have you ever challenged a parking ticket?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.

Wellington Water / Fulton Hogan open new depot in Rongotai.

Chris from Hataitai

This marks the beginning of a new alliance partnership and a new era in efficient repair and maintenance of the city's water, stormwater and drainage infrastructure. Fulton Hogan have had to contend with a backlog of work as they took on the new contract, and there has been a small spike in leaks requiring repair, but this new team is already making headway into that backlog.

There's an old proverb: "Where there is water there is life."
But it's also true that: "Where there are leaks there are complaints!" Hopefully Wellingtonians will now get more water where they want it and less where they don't.
