What will happen in Election 2007 - More of this?
Feburary 2007 -click on picture to enlarge
The residents of Brooklyn looked on in horror as this sub-division began to unfold in front of them. However the outcome of the 2004 Wellington City Council Election mandated that developers could continue with business as usual. Even worse was the appalling turn out at the 2004 mail ballot where only forty two percent of those eligible cast a vote. Don't complain when such things happen near you if you don't participate in Election 2007.

Pepp,
Your excellent photographs of the destruction of our environment, hills, vegetation and city by ruthless, uncaring property speculators, aided and encouraged by their close pals and associates on council are horrifying. Those developers in Brooklyn, Cuba Street, the Waterfront, Wakefield Street plus others in Khandallah, Ngaio and elsewhere, should be named and shamed. Add tl this list the scandal of the proposed Wine Bar on public park in Courtenay Place, and we have reason to change the current make-uop of the council. "Watch this space" for more on the Wine Bar!
The mayor's "Inner Circle of Sycophants" on council must be removed off council at the next election, now only 8 months away.
If voters dont turn out in greater numbers than last time, they have only themselves to blame. We need gutsy honest people on council led by an honest mayor who will take back the city for the people, - and we know who this should be!
Keep up the excellent work, Pepp, you have many friends and supporters both inside and outside council. We only have to replace about 5 people on council, and the whole power base changes. We must elect new people with integrity, even if we may not agree on every issue.
I hope the voters will not be influenced by some of the current publicity seeking councillors, who only attend a few council meetings, disappear early having arrived late, and still parade themselves as good councillors. Yeah right!! Every ward has at least one, and they can and must be removed.
