Presenting at Council next week- lets get to 5000
Hi all
Big thank you for your hard work.
We have gone from 2000 to almost 3400 in a week!
I have requested to present the petition next week at a Council Meeting!
A businessman will promote it in an electronic billboard, in central Auckland!
We will approach media next week too, as we have significant numbers now.
We are making an impact now! '-)))
Please Share, Share Share, - to your community groups and social media, and to all your Email contacts.
Lets get to 5000 by next week.
The best post to use is below, especially for Facebook.
Thanks so much
Shery
Sale of the #DowntownCarparkBuilding was a decision by Eke Panuku Development Auckland, ratified by the Phil Goff led Auckland Council and then endorsed by the City Vision lead Waitematā Local Board.
This is an important amenity in the Civic Centre of Auckland where ALL ratepayers have a right to access, including those in Mt Albert.
There is a covenant attached to the sale to provide for bus parking and disabled parking that is NOT sufficient as we rely on this carpark for:
#Convenient - parking in the Viaduct, Commercial Bay, Queen St and Ferry Terminal
#Affordable - it is reasonably priced
#Safety - as it is under cover (for lone females, parents with children and seniors)
#CivicCentre - is open to ALL visitors, especially ratepayers
#Commuters - rely on this to access their work
#InterIslandCommuters - Waiheke and Barrier residents ‘town car’ parking
#FerryCommuters - North Shore, Gulf Harbour and other places car for CBD
#Residents - city apartments without parking (reasonably priced long-term parking)
#ParknRide - when this is the hub for trains, ferries and public transport
#Visitors - day trippers to Waiheke and Barrier
#Tradies, Sales and Service - link to other locations and carry stock or large items
Auckland doesn’t have a connected network of regular, reliable public transport yet, so until such time as we do, it is too soon to sell this Public Facility.
PLEASE SHARE URGENTLY
