Wellington city has been hit with the perfect sotrm of a shark council killing retail by removing car parks in the street without replacing them with carparking buildings, honestly who the fudge does their shopping on a bike??? That along with job lay offs and flexible working with govt agencies the hospo businesses that relied on your public sector buying their lunch/snacks in town have been hit hard. Businesses in the suburbs seem to be doing ok - its just a shift in the customer base really.
