Here’s The Bullying Letter The NZTA Sent To Wellington City Council

What did the New Zealand Transport Agency do when it found out that Wellington City Council was holding a vote on the flyover yesterday? It rushed out a letter to the Council’s Chief Executive threatening to withdraw support and funding for other transport projects in Wellington if the Council did not support the flyover.

Well, it didn’t work. The Council voted to reject the flyover and investigate other options. And now we have obtained a copy of NZTA’s letter to the Council, which showcases NZTA’s characteristic mixture of bullying and petulance. See for yourself:

  1. Reblogged this on Louis' Outlook and commented:
    Well yesterday, Wellington City Council voted to withdraw its support for the hideous Basin Reserve Flyover project. NZTA then writes a threatening letter to Council. I think we need a new Transport Minister – one who will control the NZTA.

  2. I’ve never seen such bullish behaviour from an organisation that is supposed to be professional and not have a political sway. It smells of government tactics. Sad sad day for NZTA – great win though for the people of Welllington region with the council vote. Here’s hoping the council continues to standup against these bullies.
