Parking problems shared on an app to help councils solve them

Mis-parked, parked or abandoned cars can cause huge disruption for other people, especially those with accessibility  requirements.

Auckland and Christchurch are the worst areas for mis-parked cars, based on data from a community app called Snap Send Solve. The app is designed to help people document and report issues which can then be sent to the council.
