Poll: Have you ever started a petition?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A barber says she’s “shocked” her 500-signature petition calling for a return to two hours of free parking in the CBD won’t lead to a formal city council report, even though general information on it will be passed on.

Barber on Barton owner Gini Berggren’s petition was handed over to the council in late May by councillor Tim Macindoe, who’s campaigning for going back to two hours free.
