The Porirua City Council has put a controversial decision to introduce paid parking in the city centre on hold.
The council introduced the by-law just before Christmas citing the need to offset a rates increase of 7.65 per cent.
The council has subsequently taken a hammering on social media, with residents arguing that with Covid-19 impacting negatively on shopkeepers, paid parking would force people to shop elsewhere.
Councillors on Thursday morning resolved to suspend paid parking until March 2023.
