Tony Randle: Wellington City Councillor on the budget cuts, demolition of Begonia House

There are fears big Wellington City Council budget cuts don't go far enough.  The council yesterday voted in a mammoth meeting to make hundreds of millions of dollars of savings by slashing projects like cycleway spending, and demolishing Begonia House in the Botanic Gardens.  Councillor Tony Randle told Mike Hosking the projects Mayor Tory Whanau managed to save, like the Golden Mile redevelopment and climate initiatives, should have been cut too.  He claims they add more spending to the budget and says they now won't be able to make enough savings.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
