Our Porirua-based correspondent hit the streets to see how the introduction of paid parking would affect the people who utilize the area and the surrounding businesses. The council is trying to push toward more eco-friendly means of transportation and limit rates increases but is there more that can be done to ensure equal access to services for all of our community?

Porirua City Council is trying to push towards more sustainable transport options and lower rates in the area however not all consumers are able to afford the extra costs each week. We hit the streets to discuss with locals and business owners how the change will effect them and what the possible road blocks could be.
