Update- Judicial Review is in August this year

Hi Supporters

UPDATE:

• Andrew Krukziener, who spoke at the final Council Meeting last year, is organising the Judicial Review.  (He seems experienced at this process).
• He said it is set for August 2024- so not far away now.
• I have been waiting for his Give-a-Little page, so that we can contribute
• He has appointed a PR  person- a journalist, who is running the Campaign.
• I will advise as soon as I hear anything further.

Here are some recent news articles, showing the impact on the CBD of the current Council initiatives, roadworks, construction of underground, carparking woes, etc, etc

•  It is not safe to wander around CBD alone at night, for lone females, is reiterated in one of the articles- businesses are now concerned for their staff.  https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland-city-crime-getting-worse-businesses-fear-for-survival/DVZ2NPP2D5ALPGVRMYDVD7NU3U/                                                 
• Smith & Caughey to close- sad news:

• Council trying to push through the Roadworks around Tepid Baths- destruction of the Hobson St Flyover, adjoining the Downtown Carpark, etc. - with a  conflict of interest and breaching the Local Govt Act!      See page 42   https://issuu.com/ponsonbynews/docs/ponsonby_news_may_2024_website

I will be in touch, when I get any news on the 'fighting fund' to help with the huge costs of the Judicial Review into the Sale of the Downtown Carpark, under market value.

Thanking your for your valued support

Kindest regards
