Parking the bike

[PrincessBandit]

If in doubt pay, keep ticket with you, then in the event of a dispute you can prove you did actually pay. Boring I know, but if you don't want to risk a ticket that would be my solution.

Dear __________
Thank you for your email received 18 January 2009 requesting information on motorcycle parking in the city.

Please be advised that motorcycles parking in pay and display areas will need to purchase a ticket to park there.

Motorcycles and scooters can park free of charge at any of the Auckland City parking buildings. However, they must be parked in areas of the building where cars cannot fit.

For a list of motorcycle parking areas in the CBD, please visit the Auckland City website: www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/parking

We hope this information helps.

Thank you for your request. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information or have additional questions.

Yours sincerely

Well I never!

This is absolutely contrary to what Brian Tomlinson told me, in person, last year and which I duly wrote down word-for-word in my little reporter's notebook!

It's also contrary to what the nice parking warden told me when he obligingly met me and the editor of Rush Hour Magazine in Kingsland, so we could have our photos taken parking our bikes in a Pay & Display space without paying, and with the smiling parking warden looking on. The photos weren't published, as it happens, but I will ask the editor if he still has them on file.

Definitely needs following up, Squiggles.
