Let’s Get Wellington Moving has recently received a lot of criticism – apparently it’s spending $4million per month, enough to lay 100m of double track through town or purchase half a light rail vehicle (LRV). In my humble opinion, the criticism foisted on them is not scathing enough.
Make no mistake, they have done some snippets of good work, but then they turn a blind eye to the conclusions that should have been drawn from this work. This is worse than not doing the work at all, since in that case, they could at least have claimed ignorance.

When Stella Bares parents and her Yaya came to New Zealand in the 1950s, they held on tight to their Greek traditions. Decades later, Bares is celebrating those traditions with her grandson. While many people celebrated Easter at the start of April, for the country’s Orthodox Greek communities, Easter is on May 2. Known as Greek Easter, the day and the holy week leading up to it is considered one of the most sacred events in the Greek Orthodox faith.
