Saving the bridge
- Wellington Scoop
- Stop smashing it. Stop wasting $30 million to demolish the City to Sea Bridge. This bridge is far more than just a bridge; it symbolizes our hopes for Wellington’s future. 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.)

Massey House – restored
- Wellington Scoop
- For mid-century architectural buffs, the refurbished and strengthened Massey House on Lambton Quay is really exciting. Opened in 1957, it was a building that projected New Zealand’s export-based prosperity in a modern world. Minister of Agriculture (later Prime Minister) Keith Holyoake was pictured looking out a top floor window from the Meat and Dairy Boards’ headquarters.

Yellow stickered for its centenary
- Wellington Scoop
- The Wellington City Council is celebrating the centenary of the Embassy Theatre in Courtenay Place, at the same time as it is categorising the heritage cinema as “earthquake prone,” with yellow stickers which carry a confusion of conflicting messages.

Inevitable, avoidable
- Wellington Scoop
- The news that the Bordeaux Bakery will close at the end of this week after 30 years in business enrages me. While I will miss the baguettes and mille feuille I often buy at Moore Wilson, what truly angers me is the disgraceful Council decisions and actions that have led to this.
