There are some simple and practical things you can do to help save the Basin Reserve:

• Write a letter to the Editor at your local paper and let them know that the loss of the Basin Reserve as a cricketing and cultural venue is unacceptable. If you're in Wellington, letters can be sent to the Dominion Post by e-mailing letters@dompost.co.nz, and the rules for submission are here.
• Write to Fran Wilde, Chair of the Greater Wellington Regional Council, and let her know that you're opposed to the loss of the Basin Reserve. Her postal address is c/- GWRC, PO Box 11-646, Wellington 6142.
• Contact you local MP and let them know that you're unhappy with the loss of an iconic New Zealand cultural facility. You can find postal and e-mail addresses for your MP here.
• Call the New Zealand Transport Agency on 04 894 5400 and let them know you'd prefer cricket to boy racers and noisy trucks and the Basin Reserve, and that you don't want your tax dollars wasted on pointless roading projects.
