Nelson's city streets transformation hits speed bump
A proposal to transform Trafalgar St into a more pedestrian-friendly space stalled following a Nelson City Council meeting on Wednesday and Thursday.
Staff recommended the status quo be maintained as public opinion on the subject was evenly split at both ends of the spectrum.
After a long and sometimes heated debate on Thursday, a compromise option was reached, which would delay any future work until at least the 2021/2022 financial year.
