Harry Martin out, Te Ara Raukura in
Harry Martin Lane’s tenure as a street in the Wainuiomata shopping precinct was shorter than its namesake’s time as mayor.
Just over a fortnight after the street was named after the suburb’s only mayor, which formerly had its own council, the Wainuiomata Community Board has overturned its choice in favour of Te Ara Raukura to acknowledge the area’s mana whenua. The under-construction street will link The Strand with Queen St.
Harry Martin Lane was picked by a depleted board in a 3-2 vote on February 17. Two of the board’s seven members were unable to attend the vote because they were in self-isolation.
As part of the resolution, a private road at a new development at 80 Parkway, Wainuiomata, would be named Harry Martin Lane instead.
Martin was the only mayor of Wainuiomata, a position that lasted about a year.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:

66.7% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
33.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
0% ... It is complicated
