$90million, but only if …..
- Wellington Scoop
- When city councillors this week reconfirmed their decision that the city should pay $90million towards the unknown cost of extending the airport runway into Cook Strait, some pre-conditions had been added. The key one: that an international airline should have committed to using the runway, before the council hands over the money.

The scandal of the Town Hall – closed for eight years? Or worse?
- Wellington Scoop
- Wellington’s Town Hall is under serious threat of eventual demolition. And in any case, according to the timetable received by councillors it is to be closed for at least eight years. The issue is not that it should be opened immediately but that strengthening should be immediately continued without delay.

The rain, the drains, the buses
- Wellington Scoop
- A week or so after 30 year, 50 year, 80 year, and 100 year rain events, no answers are forthcoming about why the city was shutdown because of a slip and a large puddle. Nor are any answers forthcoming on what the Wellington City Council in particular is going to do about the woeful state of its storm water. It’s a shambles and, in the middle of all of this, emergency management was really nowhere to be seen.
