PLEASE HELP TO STOP THE SALE & DEMOLISHING OF THE DOWNTOWN CARPARK -

COUNCIL WANT TO DEMOLISH IT! AND REPLACE WITH ANOTHER HIGHRISE BUILDING.

IT IS 'APPROVED FOR SALE', BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE.

We rely on this carpark for: Convenient & reasonably priced parking, in the Viaduct/Ferry area

SAFETY FOR LONE FEMALES - this is the safest carpark for lone females, or seniors to get to the viaduct/commercial bay/Queen St, and under cover.

COMMUTERS - rely on this to access their work, when they need to bring a car, to drive to after work events, or cart large items

MOTHERS WITH BABIES/CHILDREN & SENIORS - need it to go to the city easily, for appointments, without costing alot.

APARTMENT DWELLERS with no carpark, use this for reasonable priced long-term parking.

WAIHEKE DAY VISITORS & RESIDENTS rely on this carpark to be able to park on the mainland for a reasonable cost.

OTHER FERRIES - This will affect the numbers of people using the ferries to the North Shore, and other places- may as well drive, if you incur a high cost to leave your car in the CBD.

NO REGULAR CONVENIENT WIDESPREAD UNDERGROUND NETWORK/PUBLIC TRANSPORT YET IN AUCKLAND - (in any practical sense) - and so it is too soon to sell this Public Facility. e.g. We can't get 2 buses to get from Botany to the city for dinner at the viaduct or to go to work

VIADUCT / COMMERCIAL BAY BUSINESSES will be badly affected. Currently access from Downtown Carpark is under cover/sheltered. Why pay high parking costs, and walk far in high-heels, in the rain, when we can dine elsewhere, with parking outside?

QUEEN STREET/DOWNTOWN businesses will suffer, for the same reason. . . . . One more nail in the coffin '-(

COMPANIES WILL FIND IT HARDER TO GET WORKERS for downtown offices.

COUNCIL RESPONSE:

they have approved the sale of the Downtown Carpark

they will include a BUS facility and mobility parking

there are other parking capacity in the 'immediate area' at AT's Fanshawe Street (a long walk to the viaduct!)

and Victoria Street Carpark. (a VERY long walk to the viaduct) Also, when I last applied for an Apartment carpark it was FULL!

However council say they are both 'under-utilised'

Also they say there are various privately owned parking facilities. (Yes, at double the cost, or more!)

Wellington - Fluoridation controversy - Which city is next?

Loyola from Epsom

From the start of my dental career in 1978, I have stayed focused on Preventive Dental Care. Preventive care starts with fluoride in drinking water at an optimal level of 2 ppm.

Preventive care starts with fluoride in drinking water at an optimal level of 2 ppm. Like anything, excess is bad, so we trust our Health Department and Ministry responsible for drinking water, NOT to slip the rug out from under our feet as has happened in Wellington.
-
Fluoride in drinking water changes weak and soluble dentine and enamel into acid resistant dentine & enamel. Hydroxyapatite changes to Fluorapatite - at a molecular level, making teeth resistant to decay. Fluoride applications and toothpastes are poor substitutes for fluoride in drinking water - specially in children.
-
As ratepayers, we trust those elected to positions of authority to be transparent and clearly on our side, not running on their own agenda. Even with water fluoridation, excess sugar consumption will damage teeth. Public Health starts with excellent Preventive Dental Care.
-
I was interviewed a few days ago to discuss the Wellington fluoridation debacle. Some snippets are covered in the News Hub and TV3 article.
