Submission
Do you think the zone has been assigned correctly?
No
What change to the zone would you recommend?
No paid parking on a Sunday should be enforced. We are the only city to not have free parking in a mall environment. It is hard enough to entice people into rh city then expect them to pay for parking especially on a Sunday. Who's idea was this? Someone with x amount of dollars to spare. I have been a Dunedin rate payer for over 30 years and this is one of the most extreme ideas to bring to the table.
Do you think the hours of enforcement are appropriate?
No
What change to the hours you would recommend?
Keep as it is
Are there other changes to restrictions in this area that you think should be considered in the future?
Yes
What changes to the restrictions would you recommend?
This is just another form of easy revenue. You will find that there will be less customers in the central city.
Do you have any other comments about the planned zone for Sunday paid parking?
Dunedin is one of the worst Cities in NZ for shopping. Our little mall has the most expensive parking.
Christchurch malls are free for over 2 hours with the malls always busy as consumers can wonder and spend without worrying about an expensive car park. We wonder why people aren't spending time and money in Dunedin.
