    • The council encourages whisky-drinking while it says it wants to ban liquor
      • 18 Feb 2010
      • Wellington Scoop
      • The Wellington City Council seems to be in denial. Having created the happy, over-the-top mayhem that is Courtenay Place every weekend, it’s now trying to calm things down with a ban on liquor in any public place. It already has a liquor ban in the central city, as is evidenced by its over-sized signs on lampposts. But now it wants to extend the ban into the suburbs as well.

        • ‘Dear Lindsay The problem it seems to me is that a city wide liquor ban forbidding the possession of alcohol in public places treats the possession/use of alcohol as a crime, rather than the abuse of alcohol. That possession includes when it is in your v’
        • ‘But Tom the liquor sales at primary school fairs, licensed or not, are where the bad behaviour starts. Children have a right to alcohol free spaces. You would think primary schools would be the last place where they are confronted with adults drinking at’
        • ‘Tom – this is a law that will be contravened by many, but enforced on only a few. It gives the police a tool that enables them to address drinking. A law designed to address unacceptable behaviour should do just that, not criminalise an activity of many’

    • City Housing Policy Changes
      • 17 Feb 2010
      • Downtown Community Ministry
      • Wellingtonians should comment our Council for staying firmly in the business of social housing provision. Their draft policy for the city’s social housing service describes a vision of affordable and safe accommodation for Wellingtonians in need. It also provides details on the Housing Upgrade Project (HUP) with Housing New Zealand.

    • Why we can’t be smug about the leaky buildings on Auckland’s waterfront
      • 16 Feb 2010
      • Wellington Scoop
      • I felt unreasonably smug at the weekend when I learnt that the Hilton Hotel on Princes Wharf in Auckland has had to close some of its best rooms because there are leaks in the walls. Would this have also been the fate of a Hilton Hotel in Wellington, had it been allowed to build on the outer-Tee of Queens Wharf?

    • Few Rights for Boarding House Tenants
      • 4 Feb 2010
      • Downtown Community Ministry
      • Some boarding houses in Wellington appear to be cashing in on big events in the city by evicting their residents at short notice to make room for out-of-town visitors. Downtown Community Ministry is aware of three instances where tenants have been given less than a day to vacate because their room was to be let to someone else.

    • Why should I pay rates?
      • 26 Jan 2010
      • Capital Times
      • BERNIE Harris refuses to pay his rates. The Brooklyn resident is in arrears $686.98, as of December last year. “The mayor says if we don’t pay rates then we won’t be able to pay for services. If I’m not going to use the services why should I pay for the rates?” says Harris.

      • NOBODY with red hair has lived at Ruci Tueli’s house in Wilson St, Newtown, for at least 20 years. So she was suspicious when a stranger knocked on her backdoor and asked for a John Taylor, a mid-thirties man with red hair. And she had good reason to be cautious.

    • Wellington is facing rising sea levels
      • 4 Dec 2009
      • Back To The Future
      • At the Wellington City Council Strategy and Policy Committee briefing of December 1 we were shown a computer model of the areas of Wellington that would be flooded by sea level rise as a consequence of global warming. One of the areas that may be impacted is the site of the Indoor Sports Centre. There is no doubt there will be consequences that will be beyond our control even if Wellington were to reduce green house gas emissions.
