Petition of Kenneth Mulholland: Appoint a Commission to replace the Wellington City Council

On behalf of so many Ratepayers and residents of our capital city we are inviting the Members of neighbourly to express their dissatisfaction with the governance of our Wellington City Council by signing Ken's petition.

Petition request: That the House of Representatives urge the Minister of Local Government to appoint a Commission to replace Wellington City Council.

Petition reason:
In my view, poor city planning has introduced new cycle lanes, removed hundreds of on-street car parks, and has adversely affected the free flow of transport and commerce with livelihoods destroyed. I believe the Council is both dysfunctional and incapable of properly managing the city finances and that ratepayers are now faced with unreasonable rate increases. Please sign this petition and let us all make change for a better Wellington.

Signatures are now being accepted - please follow the link below to sign:

petitions.parliament.nz...

If link above does not work please go to petitions.parliament.nz... and search "Petition of Kenneth Mulholland"

Please Pass it On...

Thank you.
