- With Wellington City Council holding a design competition on modernising its housing units Downtown Community Ministry thought it’d ask some clients for their input. “Overwhelmingly we were told that people wanted flats that were light and dry. Things like insulation to keep them warmer throughout winter were at the top of the list,” says Community Outreach Worker Kate Bell.

How to protect the Citizens of Wellington
- 22 Oct 2007
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- I've been thinking that Wellington needs a home owners and tenants union to protect the citizens from developers and people who get elected into public office by telling lies and acting in an unethical manner. This union should look after the public interest of the ratepayers and renters of the city. It should have as its mission the informing and protecting the public by its own media. What do you think?

Manufacturing Consent in The Capital / Media Collusion in Wellington?
- 4 May 2007
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- This week in the Capital's politics the temperature rose steeply over the District Plan and infill housing. That was driven by the City's news maker the Dompost with a series of reports designed to give a favourable impression of a Council that has been papering over the cracks of a permissive District Plan.
