OPINION: I read with dismay that Wellington City Council has, in its wisdom, decided to "shut up shop" for the Wellington Community Network by removing funding for this service (Feb 3). I also read that this service has been used by 570 community groups, so I do trust that all elected members of the council have been consulted on this and all are in agreement to stop the funding.

I'm sure they will be aware that 570 multiplied by all members of these organisations is one large portion of the voting public, should they like to remain in their current positions. I also note that the savings will not be $100,000, as $50,000 is to be spent "informing" these institutions how to spend money they do not have, to set up their own websites.

Hardly an "Absolutely Positively Wellington" scenario.

Bring on the next election!
