- ‘As I understand it there are considerable “fines” levied by GWRC against Go Wellington for each service that fails to run. Fat chance of getting a copy of that contract under the OIA. On the matter of the maintenance of the Ganz Mavag trains: they’ve been neglected for years, many are leaky as seives and during winter reek of *toxic* mould, a hazard for customers and staff alike. ’
- ‘At the rate things are going, we will end up with two unitary authorities: one for the Wairarapa, including most of the GWRC functions; and another for the five Wellington councils, combining them with nearly everything in the current GWRC. The latter option has all the makings of a marriage made in hell. I also think that the LGC should admit that its core philosophy is one of unitary councils; and Auckland was only the start of the process. ’
- ‘It’s not just PT operations where the GWRC is falling down. Its planning has also taken a dive since the current leaders and transport managers took over in the mid-2000s. Most egregious is its failure to think regionally – just look at the Public Transport Spine Study, set up on the premise that said spine doesn’t extend any further north than the Wellington Railway Station. Tell that to the 75% of the greater Wellington population who live north of WRS! ’

- ‘Just to reinforce what my fellow contributor said, we’re non-partisan – but we definitely have our own points of view and intend to be clear about that. I don’t identify with or belong to any party – but I have strong opinions and I doubt anyone would want to read a sopping wet blog that sat on the fence. (excluding members of the Labour Party obviously… ) This blog is broadly about keeping an eye on local govt and the goings on in and around Wellington. We will call out stupidity, nonsense and the great things we see regardless of who or what body says it. We also now have multiple contributors and as you have probably gathered, we have our own differing perspectives and this will come through more and more. ’
- ‘Jolly good, thanks for replying. There’s so few sources for local body politics information, and it’s important to know that the theme is non-partisan. ’
- ‘Good question! No. Let’s have a look at the quote in question… “The city and the council need good leadership and some decisiveness and some action. We’re the centre of the region, so we should be leading the pack, not following.” This is not a matter of ideology – its just basic leadership. No doubt in the coming months John Morrison, and the other mayoral candidates, will announce their policies. Then we’ll be able to take a proper look at what they are promising, and judge them accordingly. For the time being, I don’t think wanting decisive leadership is a particularly right-wing trait. ’
