No Brainer !!!!

How ridiculous, shutting all these streets, in an already struggling CBD. Perhaps the Commissioners, should rethink about spending 'OUR' money on this Domain, when there is a totally suitable venue at Bay Park. It can cater for so many and parking for plenty....Hence, no road closures!!!! Wake up Commissioners !!!! Read some of the comments that WE (rate payers) have put up.


Definitely a no brainer!!!

Oh karenmother, its a shame that we have people like yourself that would rather find a reason to complain rather than embrace what 20,000 people bring in to Tauranga at this time of year. If anything we should be encouraging events like OneLove who support local businesses, accommodation providers, restaurants and bars not to mention the employment opportunities.
Im sure these providers would love to hear your comments.
TCC Commissioner's, well done on keeping OneLove alive and strong in Tauranga. Looking forward to this years event and as for the Karens out there as Bob Marley said "You just cant live in that negative way, make way for the positive day"
