The Trusts West Liquor slowly expanding their grasp
WOW!! Imagine my surprise & disgust when I went to quickly visit WestCity Mall yesterday and saw an alcohol shop IN THE MALL!!!
WHY??????
I was looking for that rather quirky but fabulous $2 dollar shop that was next to Harvey's Real Estate (at the bottom of the travelator - level 2), near Hollywood Bakery and saw that it had gone an in its place was this intrusive alcohol shop, 'Village Wine & Spirits'
Now I haven't been in the mall since way before Christmas, but goodness gracious me, they moved so fast to get this in the mall.
I loved that quirky wee shop - it had almost anything you needed and so affordable. I am going to miss it.
I also noticed that there are quite a few empty spots and a few new shops in WestCity mall now.
Westgate must be making a difference to WestCity now.
On another note, when did shopping malls in New Zealand allow alcohol shops in there?
Don't we have more than enough Trust outlets out here in the West?
Why do we need one in the shopping mall?
Only The Trusts could get around any possible clause that was prohibiting alcoholic shops from being in there.
**Shaking my head in utter disbelief**
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
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:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
