Wait for parking changes

Business owners angry at the Dunedin City Council's parking strategy will have to wait a few more days for changes.

Councillors and staff met yesterday to discuss changes, after Tuesday's meeting with business owners and nearly a month of parking complaints.

Cr John Bezett said smaller changes had been agreed and would be announced on Monday, while others were still being finalised.

Changes had been expected by late this week, but the issues were complicated and the Otago Chamber of Commerce - acting for businesses on the issue - needed to be briefed, he said.

Changes would include adjustments to short-term parking, but the maximum four-hour stay and other policies would need to be reconsidered by the full council, he said.

The planned 12-month review would be brought forward, he said.
