We are appalled by what is proposed for Frank Kitts Park – sliced, diced, cut up by the City Council, and no longer a park but a building site.
On Monday night a group of us – Civic Trust Board members – were invited to a presentation by Council Officers.

There was a night of magical thinking last Thursday when Wellington City Councillors debated the proposal to support a new building on the open green waterfront lawn of Frank Kitts Park. It was led by mayor Andy Foster, who said the fale maele proposal was “a magical concept, with the potential to be a great meeting place.” But it’s impossible to understand how he knows this, because there are no plans – not even a concept drawing – for anyone to see. Nothing. Perhaps Andy was looking into a crystal ball.
