Petition request

That the House of Representatives urge the Minister of Local Government to appoint a Commission to replace Wellington City Council.

Petition reason

In my view, poor city planning has introduced new cycle lanes, removed hundreds of on-street carparks, and has adversely affected the free flow of transport and commerce with livelihoods destroyed. I believe the Council is both dysfunctional and incapable of properly managing the city finances and that ratepayers are now faced with unreasonable rate increases. Please sign this petition and let us all make change for a better Wellington.
