Poll: Does one hour free parking entice you to visit the central city?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

The one-hour free parking offer in Christchurch City Council-owned parking buildings is coming to an end on Monday August 31.

The three-month offer was introduced to support central city retail and hospitality businesses recovering from the Covid-19 lockdown.

The Lichfield Street and Christchurch Art Gallery parking buildings will charge normal rates from Monday.

Does an hour of free parking make you more likely to visit the CBD?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
