    • 21 Apr 2011
    • Save the Basin Reserve!
    • Now that the NZ Transport Agency has got the letter it wanted from the Wellington City Council supporting the Ngauranga to Airport Corridor Plan, how about they reciprocate and provide the plans they've denying Wellingtonians for the last two years? In fact, if he really wanted to be a champion for the Basin Reserve, pro-roading WCC councillor John Morrison could get nine of his peers to support an extraordinary meeting, where the Council could decide to send a letter to the NZ Transport Agency demanding they release the designs for the Basin Reserve flyover immediately. Now that really would be putting your money where your mouth is! Or is John Morrison only ever a lion when it comes to building roads? read more
