Wellington council offers free Christmas parking

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
