Parking wardens issuing tickets when they know there are plenty of parking spaces, says one reader.

Parking wardens issuing tickets when they know there are plenty of parking spaces, says one reader.

Whangarei District Council, do they know what they are about?

I say very little - $46,000 each plus a year for the bigger dreamers debt is not an asset, as I see it my great grandchildren will be paying for a debt they have not incurred.

They want someone else to look after their vacant land and reserves, berms etc.

This is an untidy city with half-finished subdivisions, vacant unkept sections, berms included.

No one is using and no one lives on a vacant section so why does not the council encourage section owners by mowing the berms? And $1000 in rates is a lot of money when someone else has already paid for the service connections, more prominent signs appearing weekly, for sale, for lease, closing down sale and now a retirement sale over-rated and over insurance cost greedy landlords all contribute to the disaster, now very prominent in our city.

Plus parking wardens issuing tickets when they know there are plenty of parking spaces where there is free parking is the place to go. Council wake up, you are the cause of this demise.
