Has the airport company lost the plot?
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- SAY NO TO WELLYWOOD SIGNOur brand as the creative centre of New Zealand is in the process of being downgraded. To even have a lengthy public debate is corrosive. Adopting this tacky imitation makes us look deeply shallow and builds a perception that will leave a sense of discomfort for many years to come. We are so much better than this.

Out with wellywood sign
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- WELLYWOOD SIGN MUST NOT GO UP SAYS BRYAN PEPPERELL- Wellington City Council's rep on the Airport company is Deputy Mayor Ian McKinnon and for his representation on behalf of the ratepayers he receives an extra $40,000. If Cr McKinnon cannot put up a good argument opposing such tasteless negative branding he really should resign from the airport company.

Submit on the Wellington City Council Community Draft Annual Plan now. Don’t dither!
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- Submit on the Wellington City Council Community Draft Annual Plan now. Don’t dither! Democracy only works when we all participate. With low turnouts at election time and poor participation rates in the Council Community Annual and Long Term Council Community Plans, outcomes can get distorted. If you don’t vote and participate in the process then you shouldn’t complain about the outcome.

What’s up between Onslow candidates Mike and Andy
- WCC Watch
- What’s up between Mike Flemming and Andy Foster and why do some candidates feel the need to mass email the rest of the candidates post election with their gripes (see Thomas Morgan below)? Is it a case of sour grapes? And when will some tell Mike not to put the message in the title space? Mike contested the Onslow-Western Ward and obtained 567 votes.

Beating Rate Rises - If you cab afford it.
- Sharon Blaikie
- The WCC has sent out a notice reminding ratepayers of the GST increase in October and suggesting a way of avoiding that increase at least for this year by paying installments 2, 3 and 4 right away. A good idea - if you have the ready.

Wellington's rates out of control
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- Recently I asked for the compounding rate increase for residential property over the last five years from the city council´s CFO. My records from 1 July 2003 to 30 June to 2004 show my rates at $1275.69. They are now $2204.52. That’s close enough to 73 percent and I pay for my own rubbish. The figure I was given by the CFO was 45 percent.
