Let’s Get Wellington Moving has today announced a new independent chairperson and a three-year programme director.
The appointments come after a review found the LGWM programme was at risk of failing to deliver, and lacked credibility, strategic direction and focus.
The DomPost reports that Dave Brash has been appointed the new independent board chairperson, and Siobhan Procter will be the new director in charge of projects to be delivered within the next three years.
She will oversee the Golden Mile improvements, Thorndon Quay & Hutt Road changes, the Cobham Drive crossing and safer speeds on State Highway 1, walking improvements in the central city, and significant bus priority projects.

Why has no one been removed from the governance and leadership team? Why are the management team still in place? And why employ a new independent chairperson, a new programme director and deputy programme director to babysit the leadership team instead of replacing them?

I agree with Michael, what’s the point of adding another layer of management over the existing governance and leadership team? Why are they still there?
