Pressure on parking prompts pleas for restrictions in city
Hi neighbours,
Palmerston North is getting busier, making it harder than ever for workers to park all day around the fringes of the central city. The lack of parks in neighbourhood streets is causing tension between workers and residents.
Do you have a problem with workers parking in your street all day? Or is finding a park near your work a nightmare? Let us know what you think.
