A popular Wellington retailer is among the businesses and organisations slamming proposals for the city's Golden Mile.
The council will vote tomorrow on a key aspect of Let's Get Wellington Moving - getting rid of cars along Lambton Quay, up through Willis and Manners Streets, to Courtenay Place.
Several business owners signed a letter to the mayor, stating the removal of cars from Wellington's key retail area will drive customers away.
Moore Wilson's Julie Moore says the lack of consultation and engagement surrounding this project is concerning.
"We have grave concerns of the damage that this proposal will do to our city. We're a small city, small population, small in size, and this proposal is basically from one end of our city to another."

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
