http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/3358056/Council-to-waive-Phoenix-extra-time-parking-ticketsThis sort of thing leaves me scratching my head. Why would they not have policy in place to deal with this sort of thing? It is a complete waste of rate payer money to have to go in and now waive the tickets written when if they were going to do that, they shouldn't have been written in the first place.
Of course, this just makes the ticket writers look worse, and the council looking stupid, though I guess there is someone somewhere there patting themselves on the back for making the council look benevolent.
