    • 19 Jan 2011
    • Wellington Scoop
    • We learnt last week that the Wellington City Council earns $6000 every year from each of its pay-and-display parking spaces. The news came in a statement from the Mayor, responding to a DomPost report that the council was thinking of ending free parking for motorbikes and scooters. Not so, she said.
