Now the Wellington Chamber of Commerce are having their ten cents worth.

"In our view it would be irresponsible for councillors to possibly commit the region to a bill of $25 million and at least $350,000 a year this close to a decision on amalgamation."
That $350K is about $1 per head across the region. Oh my!
Something else. From the council.
(i) notes that the CFT has proposed to Council a 12,000 capacity boutique stadium at the Petone Recreation Ground that it believes will stimulate significant economic, social and recreational benefits to Hutt City.
No, the CFT have proposed a stadium. A STADIUM. The DimPost used the term and suddenly reason was lost.....
By the way a defintion of boutique is
-
1.a small shop selling fashionable clothes or accessories.
-
2.a business serving a sophisticated or specialized clientele.
