1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Another business story from the capital, this time yesterday it

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: was Cranfield's of course, in this crap with the council.

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Today it's the Court of Appeal. They found Wellington Council

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: followed the wrong processes when changing angled car parks to

5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: parallel one. Thisman going on for a long time in

6
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Thornton Key. The result fewer car parks.

7
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: Of course.

8
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: Chairmen of the Thornton Key Collector Paul Robinson is well,

9
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: there's Paul.

10
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: Very good morning to you, good morning life.

11
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: So a nice one in the court. But they don't

12
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: instruct anything. So in other words, the council don't have

13
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: to do anything. Do you think they will.

14
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: Or we're hopeful that they will agree to carry out

15
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: an independent review of their decision making processes.

16
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: The problem was the problem was they had public consultation

17
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: and all that proves is that they don't care about

18
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: public consultation because they went ahead and did what they

19
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: wanted to do anyway, didn't.

20
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: They Well they did, they did. And you know we

21
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: have sort of three areas of real concerned. I mean,

22
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: the firstly is the safety data they relied on seemed

23
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: to be heavily skewed. Secondly, they declined find our petition

24
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: back in twenty and twenty one to have an economic

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: assessment carried out of the impact of business. And thirdly,

26
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: we've had this issue come up with the one hundred

27
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: and ten year old pipes underneath the underneath this very

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: expensive infrastructure they're building, and it just seems to be

29
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: in complete out of unwillingness to look at it, whether

30
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: that's an issue or not. Are they incompetent, Well, they've

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: demonstrated in competence.

32
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: Should it ever have got to court, I mean, for

33
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: God's sake, it's just to councilors and cow pikes. Why

34
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: does it end up in court?

35
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: That's a depressing thought, Mike. Back in twenty twelve, we

36
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: had this wonderful interaction with council where we agreed that

37
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: it would be sensible to introduce the seven to nine

38
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: clearly going into town and that reduced the incident rate

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: by fifty percent. And there's been no efforts since it's

40
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: willing to move and come along. Has just been this

41
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: refusal to consider, perhaps, say, for instance, introducing a four

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: to six clearway coming out of town in the night.

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: They could have resolved all these safety issues with a

44
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: few tens of thousands of dollars, not fifty eight million dollars.

45
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable, isn't it. Well, go well with it, Paul,

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: and I hope the meeting goes well, and I hope

47
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: they acquiesce and they apologize and actually sort the problem out.

48
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: Paul Robinson is with the Thornton Key Collective Chairman. For

49
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,080
