      <title>Hugh Rennie: No need to spend $45m destroying a public asset</title>
      <link>https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=166239</link>
      <description>It’s four weeks since the irrepressible Helene Ritchie urged me to join a challenge to the Wellington City Council’s plan to demolish the City to Sea Bridge.&#xD;
&#xD;
I declined. Too many other matters already engaged me.&#xD;
&#xD;
But I did read the technical reports disclosed by the Council and found a curious thing. The Council said they recommended demolition. I found they did not.&#xD;
&#xD;
I wrote and lodged a written submission pointing this out. Perhaps I had misunderstood.&#xD;
&#xD;
So far none of the engineers have disputed my submission with me. Two more from Dunning Thornton and then Spencer Holmes (who know the bridge well, having strengthened it after the Kaikoura Quakes) confirmed my main conclusions.</description>

      <title>Saving the bridge</title>
      <link>https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=165205</link>
      <description>Stop smashing it. Stop wasting $30 million to demolish the City to Sea Bridge.&#xD;
&#xD;
This bridge is far more than just a bridge; it symbolizes our hopes for Wellington’s future.&#xD;
&#xD;
The Council is ignoring its own vision for the city’s heart — Framework 2021 — which aims for a thriving civic centre where creativity, culture, democracy, and the arts converge. (Though the Council has moved outside it.)</description>

      <title>Demolition? No!</title>
      <link>https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=163737</link>
      <description>Two local experts are arguing strongly against the demolition options in the Wellington City Council’s “single vision” proposal for Civic Square. Not that the council’s vision takes a single stance – but it lists demolition as a choice for consideration.</description>
