There is now less space for vehicles in Gisborne’s city centre to park for free all day.

Free all-day parking in Lowe St between Gladstone Rd and Childers Rd in Gisborne came to an end this week and the council has indicated it will address issues in at least one other city car park where vehicles can park freely all day.

There appeared to be no parking meters or no time-limit signage in that section of Lowe St for months prior to this week.

On Tuesday, contractors put up 120-minute parking limit signs that now cover that part of Lowe St.

“The parking meter there was vandalised and we are still working on a replacement,” the council said.

“The parking is still free in that area, but is now limited to 120 minutes.”

The council was also asked how long it took to get the signage in place and how long it took to replace the damaged payment machine.

The Gisborne Herald understands that a similar free-parking situation applies in the car park behind Farmers between Bright St and Grey St.

The council said the Farmers’ parking payment machine situation was being worked through.
