The misery of Manners Street, and Willis Street, and Taranaki Street
- Wellington Scoop
- There were lots of men at work in the disintegrating Manners Mall this afternoon. But after Matt Calman’s exposé in the DomPost, I didn’t see any of them asleep on the job. I did notice, however, that some of the workers were saving the bricks which had been ripped up from the pedestrian mall – perhaps they’ll be used again when councilors next change their minds about Manners Street.

Good Manners - Just mind your step….
- Architectural Centre Inc
- Following the councils decision to ignore everyones advice except from those that agreed with them they have lost no time in commencing the change process in Manners Mall. New pedestrian calming measures have been introduced into the centre of the mall which also perform more than adequately as holding pens for paving contractors looking to gather up pavers from beneath the pedestrians feet and redistribute them to a place more deserving.
