I am absolutely furious at the City Council’s actions in barriering off the City to Sea Bridge today. The case to demolish this bridge is far from proven. This is high-handed in the extreme, and a shameful action based on a misguided, ill-informed and ideologically-driven decision.

I am discussing a possible major protest meeting with Helene Ritchie, Chair of the Civic Trust. Watch this space and please be prepared to show your support for those of us who oppose the summary demolition of this bridge.

Keen to do some backyard birdwatching? The Department of Conservation have put together a nifty guide on how to plan and plant a garden that attracts native birds.
We hope this brings a smile!

If you're in the Eastern Ward, you should have received my leaflet in your mailbox. This sets out my priorities and some suggestions for improvements in the eastern suburbs. If you haven't received the leaflet, let me know and I'll deliver one. Come and chat: Kilbirnie Lyall Bay Community Centre, Bay Road (opposite Woolworths/Countdown) every Saturday 10am-11am until 4 October. Or come to the Hataitai meet the candidates meeting at Wellington Cadet Centre at 393 Evans Bay Parade (opposite Cog Park) 1-4pm Sunday 14 September.
I have made it my mission to ensure that construction of the second Mt Victoria tunnel starts before the end if the current parliamentary term, as promised by transport minister Chris Bishop, and that it has fit-for-purpose walking and cycling facilities as well as the traffic lanes. I also want a new bus lane on Cobham Drive (by slightly widening the road, not taking a traffic lane). NZTA would pay for this, not ratepayers.
There's lots more information on my website www.CCF4WCC.co.nz...
Help me to help make the eastern suburbs an even better place to live, work and visit, by giving me your No.1 preference in the forthcoming local council elections (9 Sep-11 Oct).
Sincerely, Chris Calvi-Freeman
