The Dunedin City Council has changed it's mind again and decided John Wilson Drive will only be open to vehicles on weekdays (story in the ODT here). This is described as a "compromise" between those who want it reopened and those who want it open to walkers only. But it hard to disagree with Councillor John Bezett who said, "This to me is trying to please everybody. We are going to end up pleasing no-one".
This decision puts an end to the long tradition of taking elderly and infirm relatives on a Sunday Drive to John Wilson. And those who work for a living will largely miss out.
The Council has lost the plot yet again. I am sure that this decision will be revisited before long.
