Jose Ubiaga: Dakota Bar Owner on Wellington City Council's lack of vision for Courtenay Place

A Courtenay Place bar owner says it's critical Wellington City Council has a plan for the area.  It's walked away from a $32 million deal to renovate Reading Cinema, which has been closed since an earthquake risk was discovered in 2019.  The council says it's working on other projects to help revitalise the city's entertainment district.  But Dakota Bar's Jose Ubiaga told Mike Hosking that the area has been on the decline for years and is getting worse.  He says the council doesn't seem to have any clear vision for Courtenay Place, and even the Golden Mile is all over the place.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
