Increased carpark monitoring has seen a rise in tickets issued but a drop in complaints about the lack of carparks in Cambridge and Te Awamutu over the past three months.
It has been eight months since Waipā District Council employed an extra fulltime enforcement officer with a significant focus on monitoring the two towns' time-restricted parking spaces.
Council compliance manager Karl Tutty said the team had received positive feedback from residents about the increase in available parking in the central business districts as a result of more monitoring.
"Over the past four months, we have issued 231 parking infringement notices, mainly for vehicles overstaying in time-limited parking in Te Awamutu and Cambridge's CBD and we've certainly noticed through casual observation that there appears to be an increase in the availability of carparks."
Council's compliance team also had other wins across the district, Tutty said.
