Keith Cheah, 55, a restaurant owner, central Wellington:

‘‘I have noticed [that] and it is good. The loading zone outside the restaurant used to be full but is not so much anymore.’’ ‘‘They are very vigilant. That is why I have the parking app, so I don’t have to deal with them.’’

Justin Orr, 45, selfemployed, Mt Cook:

‘‘There are more parking wardens and they are younger. For the city it is revenue gathering for the loss of people in the business. People don’t want to park here - they won’t shop here.’’

Blossom Cameron, 50, a personal trainer, Strathmore:

‘‘I have noticed a decrease in wardens. I really don’t like parking wardens but it’s not really their fault.’’

Pip Brydon, 58, clinical researcher, Wilton:

‘‘I think parking is for everyone - sometimes it is really, really hard to find a park. I support the increase - when people overstay it makes it harder for all.’’
