Greater Wellington Regional Council has started consultation on its Regional Land Transport Management Programme. The purpose of this programme is to outline all land transport projects and their priority for the next three years (2009-2012) as well as as indicative activities over the next three and a 10 year financial forecast.
Worringly, the Council has placed the Basin Reserve flyover as no 2 on its list of priorities. We are asking people to put in a submission reqesting that the project be dropped, and submissions closed on Friday 24th April at 5:00pm.
You can make a written submission in a number of ways:
E-mail it to info@gw.govt.nz
Submit online using the online feedback form
Post it to RTLP Submissions, Greater Wellington Regional Council, Freepost Authority Number 3156, PO Box 11646, Manners Street, Wellington 6142
The submission should be addressed to the Regional Transport Committee. We'll be posting a sample submission later on today, although we recommend that you modify it as necessary to reflect your own views. This will give your submission far more weight. In your submission include your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address if you have one.
It is also possible to make an oral submission. This is a very effective way of letting the Council know your views. Submissions will be heard May/June. Just indicate on your written submission that you wish to be heard.
So do it today - the future of the Basin Reserve hangs on getting the public's view heard!
