Paul Robinson: Thorndon Quay Collective Chairman on $1500 grant for businesses to stay afloat during disruption

Businesses on Wellington’s Thorndon Quay look set to receive $1500 to help them stay afloat during ongoing roadworks and disturbances.  Wellington Council voted in favour of investigating whether to give businesses this “micro-grant” but the mayor has stressed it is not compensation.  Chairman of Thorndon Quay Collective Paul Robinson tells Heather du Plessis-Allan losses are in the millions for businesses on Thorndon Quay and the $1500 grant will not help.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
