• • The price of parking, the cost of leaks

    • 19 Jan 2011
    • Wellington Scoop
    • We learnt last week that the Wellington City Council earns $6000 every year from each of its pay-and-display parking spaces. The news came in a statement from the Mayor, responding to a DomPost report that the council was thinking of ending free parking for motorbikes and scooters. Not so, she said.

    Building on top of a sewer tank

    • This post was going to be called “New School of Music” but then I thought – no, hold on, this could really cause a stink. What if…? Is it? Was it? No, surely not. But maybe….? Who knows? I’ve just been alerted to the revised scheme for what was at one stage known as the new “School of Music” down by the Michael Fowler Centre – or more accurately, on the site of the MFC carpark and smack bang in the viewpoint of the Amora Hotel. Amazingly, it is a full public notification, and must be costing someone millions to do this – and it closes in just a very few days. Monday?

The proposal is by a WCC Councilor, Leonie Gill, who appears shocked and horrified that Wellingtonians have such a care-free attitude to crossing the road.
