Tram Rd commuter stop

Andrew from Swannanoa - Ohoka

About Neighbourly:
“Neighbourly's mission is to create an easy way for neighbours to talk and share online, creating more real world connections and ultimately growing stronger, safer and friendlier communities.”

There's a lot of misrepresenting the truth going on. I exposed the fact the we have a serious problem with the council. I presented my case to the Councillors earlier in the month - I gave a fact base account of what was going on under our noses. 4 of the Councillors took note and made attempts to investigate the issue further. 4 of the other Councillors and the Mayor looked away and pretended there wasn't a problem and voted against their own colleagues. Subsequently, the Mayor and the WDC CEO came out in the Advocate (15/12/17) and doubled down. I have since read up on the latest RC application from Apollo re their Tram Rd accesses plan - and it is a threat to public safety (read the safety report), and it will in get peer reviewed by the NZTA in due course. This plan is looking to be forced on the community without a public consultation process - despite the fact it has an environmental impact (Apollo's SAT even had the cheek to ask that rate payers to help fund it).

Yet, there are those still peddling the idea that there is some sort of conspiracy to thwart the Apollo's plan for setting up a retail centre - despite the fact that it has already been built and due to open in a month - and that many of us will be supporting the tenants!?!

Why is this? Why the deliberate confusion?
