I doubt if Simon Bridges would know what a "wee missive" is... They need Judith Collins who could just give them 'that look'!
Perhaps a bit of civil disobedience over parking is required? There's bound to be somewhere that bikes could be parked that would disrupt the traffic flow in the city?
As for voting for him, suspect he's a council officer and has an iron clad employment contract. There seems to be a number of these type of people in council positions.
Aye Judith is a valid threat.
A friend was once responsible for the care and feeding of trolleybus poles. The rigmarole surrounding the replacement of rotten ones was literally unbelievable, the cost was simply huge, completely out of all proportion with the reasonably straightforward task. They installed a temporary pole while one rotten one was removed, decided the new one was going to be impeded by an adjacent power pole, argued with the owners of the power pole for 3 months about who was paying for that to be moved, installed a temporary pole while the old one was removed, then a second temporary one when the power pole was moved, then put the new pole in the same hole the old one had come out of. Unbelievable. And the number of entities involved in the job was also an eye opener, they waited three weeks because one official associated with subsequent remedial work was on holiday. And that nonsense is perfectly normal.
The civil disobedience thing has been done, on a small scale, but even on a big scale they simply don't give a fuck, they just aren't accountable for their decisions.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
