Poll: What's your take on Hamilton's CBD parking rules?
Central city retailers back a call to return to two free hours of street parking in Hamilton’s CBD, saying it’ll be easier for customers to visit and boost foot traffic.
Mayoral race contender Tim Macindoe this week made a fresh push to revert to the system, saying there had been complaints the current one-hour regime and heavier fines are scaring people away from the CBD.
