5 Weeks to go to save 2000 SAFE carparks in CBD- NEWS- Police admit CBD crime an issue
Good evening Supporters
It is now only 5 weeks until the Judicial Review, and we have only raised $1940 of the $500,000 to pay for it.
PLEASE can you help. See what you can do below.
A Summary to date: A Judicial Review is looming on 5th August- to stop the Undervalued Sale and Demolition of the Downtown Carpark (the safest carpark in CBD) and overbridge up to Hobson St. 1,944 carparks going.
We will also lose 2,000 carparks next to Tepid Baths- these will be taken for Commercial Bay, and we will have to pay more, if there is space.
Crime is increasing and also Parking costs - and car parks are reducing.
Council have ignored an offer for more than $300ml more, that would build in top of the carpark, and thus save 1500 carparks for the public, and lower our rates. This is illegal and so we have taken legal action to review it.
We only have $1940 of our goal of $500,000 for legal costs.
Please can you help with a Givealittle donation-
