Contained in the latest council e-mailer yesterday is this:-
Solid case for Gateway funding
Today we’ve made our application to the Government’s Provincial Growth Fund for the Kāpiti Gateway project available on our website.
The application made a solid case for government funding and we are now working through a process, having listened to community and elected member concerns, to test some of the assumptions made in the indicative business case. This includes looking at a range of options for how the centre might operate, should Council decide to proceed with the establishment of the Gateway at this time.
It’s clear they have pre-determined that it will proceed.
After several weeks of being asked to provide them and refusing, you can now read the council application documents here and here. They include the surprising statement, “Extensive public consultation has been undertaken on the proposal to build a Kāpiti Gateway.” Hmm.
And there’s a video:
Am so ‘pleased’ to see that the KCDC have found something else for them to waste precious money on a complete idiotic project that is backed by the Mayor and certain counselors who appear to have no sense of the serious situation that this Country is currently in now, and going into for an unknown future.
When so many will be made unemployed due the effect of this dreadful virus, surely this money can be put aside for far more concerning situations than a memorial to an upstart tyrant regime!!!!!!
