Parking wardens ticketing cars in empty Wellington streets
The Wellington City Council has broken precedent and a nationwide trend by sending its parking wardens out ticketing more than 800 cars during alert level 3.
The council deemed all parking free during 2020's alert level 4 and all but one day of level 3 but not this time around. A look around central Wellington streets late on Saturday morning found many empty parks but most of those cars that were parked had been ticketed. Some stretches of road had tickets on every parked car.
Do you think parking should be free in lockdown?

KENT TERRACE, WELLINGTON CENTRAL - BURST PIPE AFFECTING TRAFFIC
Update 2, 8:10am 21/8
Crews are investigating reports of no service or low water pressure in higher areas of Roseneath. This may also affect areas of Mt Victoria.
We’ll provide more information as the investigation continues.
--------------------------------------
Update 1, 7:40am 21/8
In the interest of public safety, the inside lane of Kent Terrace has been closed. To minimise delays, please use the Oriental Bay route to Wellington Airport if required.
Crews are working at pace to isolate the area and complete the repair, and have turned the water off. No customers should be affected - if you are experiencing a loss of service, please let us know.
Please see the map below for the approximate area affected.
If you have experienced any property damage from the burst, it's best to contact your insurer in the first instance, then report this to the Wellington City Council customer contact team: wellington.govt.nz...
--------------------------------------
Kia ora Wellington,
A burst pipe has caused flooding on Kent Terrace, between Vivian Street and Buckle St (approximately).
Crews are onsite, and we're awaiting urgent traffic management so we can undertake the repair.
While we wait for traffic management, we're asking people to avoid the area if possible, and if not please expect delays. We appreciate that this is a main route, so are doing all we can to minimise impact on commuters.
At this stage, we don't expect a shutdown to affect any properties but will provide more information as the repair progresses.
It's a major repair and we expect it to take between 8 -10 hours.
We'll keep you updated on our social channels.
