Tournament parking have posted a notice that the area in the James Smith carpark currently used for bike parking will no longer be available for bike parking from the 1st of September.

Cunts. One of the few covered, semi secure bike parks in Wellington.

Am I paranoid or is this sour grapes after BRONZ representations scuppered Report 4 about pay and display parking for motorbikes.

Can't be paranoia. According to the map attached to WCC Report 4 this is Tournament Parking not WCC

Or perhaps for the threat to the RWC?

are you suggesting we should disrupt the RWC because they are closing the parking area in the James Smith carpark? What a great idea.
Who's in for Katman's RWC protest?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Sorry, it was either that or, "I told you so".

Oops. It just leaked out.

So the question responce came back as
"The Council used to own it but sold it to Tournament, Council have a contract with them for staff discount on parking."

So I would say Council may have had a small talk to Tournament...

That would go against the councils statement about trying to get the carparks to open up facilities to motorcyclists.

They were looking at ways to charge for bike parking but looks like they couldn't come up with anything workable.
