Our Auckland Delivers Open Letter To Government

Our Auckland Delivers Open Letter To Government

The Our Auckland coalition and supporters will be protesting outside the offices of National MPs Paula Bennett and Nikki Kaye today.

The group will deliver an Open Letter to the Government describing the views expressed by Aucklanders during the recent referendum that attracted over 9,000 votes.

The letter also describes the changes that Our Auckland would like to see incorporated into the Third Supercity Bill before it is passed.

Our Auckland spokesperson Mels Barton says it is the last chance for the Government to listen to the voices of Aucklanders.

"The messages we received via the referendum were really clear and the changes to the Bill proposed by the Select Committee just don't go far enough to deliver the type of city that Aucklanders want."

"We want a future for Auckland that everyone can support and move forward with together, not something that is divisive and elitist, with all the power vested in the few. We want a democratic Auckland, not a corporate one, and we hope the Government is listening."
