Flashing green women and mayoral drivel

Obviously Adam is on about Wellington, where Mayor Prendergast has been prattling on again.

There is an article in the DomPost about re-vamping the Parliament area. You can judge the flavour when you read:-

“Our Extraordinary Democracy - The Capital City Initiative” is the council’s vision to improve the way people feel about the Parliament area by giving it the same sense of awe and importance as a national park.

There is nothing extraordinary about NZ democracy - except perhaps the mediocrity of so many of our politicians.

Personally I do not get a sense of awe and importance on going to a national park. Platitudinous drivel.

Ms Prendergast said the initiative would allow Wellington to get extra mileage out of being the capital city. “This is the centre of democracy and it is where we have led the world in lots of ways. We need to capitalise on that but bring into it the creative innovation that the city has achieved.”

The council’s chief urban designer, project leader Gerald Blunt, said the initiative was another step in cutting the apron strings of Mother England. “It is about the capital city’s role … but it is also all about our national identity.”

Pretentious tosh and piffle.

Since when by changing road layout do we ‘cut the apron strings of Mother England’ - gobbledygook and claptrap..

To cap it all the Council thinks we should change the crossing indicators to have green woman walking, no doubt the stop light will be red men flashing.

This is not quirky, Ms Prendergast - just bloody silly!!
