The Restaurant Association has voiced disappointment with Auckland Transport's move to charge for parking.

AT will delay their 24/7 parking fees in the CBD until October - though charges on Sundays and public holidays will still kick in from July. 

CEO Marisa Bidois says Auckland Transport still needs to hear what the business community has to say first.

"We're talking 15,000 businesses that are potentially impacted by this, and I think that they need to be heard about their opinions on what's happening here."
