There are claims that Christchurch City Council is anti-car, following concerns over carpark access at Christchurch Hospital.
Figures released to Newstalk ZB reveal that the biggest money-makers for parking fines are all around the hospital.
The Hagley Oval carpark \u2014one of the biggest earners\u2014 provided more than 108-thousand dollars in fines in the last financial year.
Councillor Aaron Keown says that the council pushed back on an idea which would've seen 100 temporary parks added to Hagley Park.
He says a hospital is needed by people in cars, that people don't give birth while riding the bus or bike.
