Stop Kainga Ora's Marlowe Road and Bolton Street public housing development
1,196 have signed. Let’s get to 1,500!
I am against this development for three reasons 1. The land was gifted for the elderly and anyone with morals irregardless of the law should uphold the wishes of the deceased person who gifted the land. If the development does proceed it should be for the elderly including existing tenants 2. The failing stormwater and wastewater infrastructure in blockhouse bay will be further stressed and more prone to flooding with global climate change. 3. Blockhouse Bay is already experiencing increased traffic flow that is decreasing the quality of life of existing residents and upwards of 200 more people forced into the neighborhood will increase traffic and congestion further. Bolton Street is already backed up to blockhouse bay rd in rush hour. In summary this development should not get consent for these reasons and without major infrastructure spend. If it goes ahead it should be for the elderly, matching the age demographic blockhouse bay is known for.
