The changing mayoral messages
Wellington.Scoop
Mayor Kerry Prendergast has changed her message. On the billboard facing five lanes of traffic in Wakefield Street, her rugby world cup “party” message has gone. It’s been replaced by a briefer, up-beat slogan. Of only six words.
To which a cynic has suggested the addition of “rates up.” But Wellingtonians don’t seem to be concerned with their rates going up every year. As a result, the subject of rates isn’t visible in any of the mayoral campaigns.
Councilor Celia Wade-Brown has extended her mayoral campaign advertising into Newtown. This poster is in a bus stop outside the regional hospital. She also has a new message – about transport. No doubt she’s pleased that her policy promoting light rail seems to be popular with many people, even if it isn’t mentioned in this poster.
