| 638124 | 2008-02-06 22:14:00 | From this (www.nzherald.co.nz) it would appear that the Court will not allow a store to open in the development because far too many people would use it. Obviously we can't willy-nilly have popular stores. So what tennants should there be to keep the courts smiling? Telecoms "Good Deeds" section? "Happy IRD Donors" meeting hall? |

| 638125 | 2008-02-06 22:32:00 | Having proof-read far too many Environment Court decisions a few years ago (don't ask!) traffic is something they look at. It's a consideration for most things from child care facilities to big business. And with reason when you think about it. The opening of Sylvia Park stuffed up the motorway for a few hours and continued to cause disruption for days until they got their access and car parking sorted. The non-bargain hunters (as well as the bargain hunters) were just a tad annoyed over the mess. And think of the chaos if a busy child care facility opens on a main road with most parents trying to turn right out of the gate. |

| 638126 | 2008-02-06 22:42:00 | Mind you, they could probably open one in Invercargill and aucklanders would still go there. Great furniture at prices that blow everyone out of the water. Wherever they open they'd do well. Manukau? | Thebananamonkey (7741) | ||

And what do you think of the council's cost saving measure of mowing the grass every 6 weeks? Actually, you could ring the council and ask if they could review the lights. Or email Phoebe at the NZ Herald www.nzherald.co.nz (email link at bottom of page) and ask her to ask. |

| 638130 | 2008-02-08 08:42:00 | There is almost no limit to the stupidity of public authorities. However it would be stupid to have a retailer open a store, and there not being the infrastructure in place to cope with it, and it thus affecting other businesses. If you were another business in the area and was affected by your customers not being able to access your store, you could seek compensation from the authorities for allowing the development to go ahead without enough infrastructure. Infrastructure in NZ is a major issue that needs government investment. |

The non-bargain hunters (as well as the bargain hunters) were just a tad annoyed over the mess. Trust me, it was worse! I work there and was there when it opened. Do you remember seeing all those people running when it opened? multiply that number by ten, and imagine all of them running to The Warehouse for $50 TV's. And I mean ALL of them. A foggy day too if I remember. |

| 638132 | 2008-02-08 14:33:00 | But - - this is Auckland we are talking about. Confusion, congestion, and crawling traffic are civic rights and ingrained in the system. If traffic flowed smoothly, people could just go where they want and the natives would be in a state of shock. We need our hour of slow motion progress in the morning and evening to allow the body to move from domestic to working mode. Surely it is not unreasonable to allow the same privilege to those switching between domestic bliss and retail therapy. Also, if traffic flowed smoothly and efficiently the roads would be deserted. Where would we park all those cars currently crawling gently about the isthmus? |
