Wellington council offers free Christmas parking
Christmas is coming early to the CBD, with a weekend parking special being offered at Clifton Car Park from this weekend.
The car park, owned by Waka Kotahi and managed by Wellington City Council, is offering a weekend parking special where the first 2 hours are free, and then every hour after is $2 up to a maximum of $6 per day.
The offer will run every weekend from Saturday 14 November 2020 – Monday 25 January 2021, and includes public holidays.
The car park can be entered via The Terrace and has easy access to Lambton Quay and the Cable Car – perfect for a spot of Christmas shopping.
There is also free parking for motorcycles and scooters on the first floor of the main building.
Clifton Car Park is open 24/7 and managed by barrier arms but can be entered and exited at any time.
After the two free hours, it’s $6 maximum per day on weekends and public holidays up until midnight – whereupon a new day session starts.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.2% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.2% No, I enjoy it
-
1.6% Other - I'll share below
