What do you think of the idea to take cars off some busy Wellington streets?
Several busy Wellington streets could be blocked to cars as part of a proposal presented to Wellington City Council next week for a low-traffic central city.
It suggests Dixon St and Ghuznee St could both be “snipped” to remove through traffic between Taranaki St and The Terrace.
Victoria St could also be changed, with no traffic between Manners St and Wakefield St, and a possible service lane in the southbound direction.

In good, if not excellent condition. Made by the Kiwi Camping Company but is no longer in their catalogue. These are around $7-800 nowadays.

We have changed vehicles so this is now no longer suitable.

It suits a van, hatchback or SUV. It is made from a tough canvas. The tent is standalone and has a canvas apron that attaches to the vehicle's Rear hatch or side door to form a sheltered entrance. So, you can quickly detach the tent and drive away without disassembling the tent.

I'm unsure of the floor space, but it looks like 2x2m and has ample height. It is roomy.

Message us to arrange a time to come and view it.

Price: $295
