City councillor removes tweet calling public submitters ‘absolute knobs‘
A post by Wellington City councillor Tamatha Paul referring to public submitters as “absolute knobs” has been removed from Twitter.
Paul made the comment about a group of Mt Victoria residents who were part of a video submission on the council’s draft spatial plan on Wednesday.
The plan proposes removing demolition protections for many pre-1930s buildings and allowing new builds up to four storeys in parts of the suburb outside designated character “sub-areas”.
It is part of the council’s wider plan to squeeze in tens of thousands of extra residents across the city over the next 30 years.
