A block of public toilets at the epicentre of a worsening central Wellington safety problem is set to go as the city council looks at how to take the chaos out of downtown. Papers going to a Wellington City Council committee this week have outlined plans, some already underway, to make the central city safer. The issues, focused around Te Aro Park in the central city, were outlined in a report to council in September 2020. Ross Giblin/Stuff Wellington city councillor Tamatha Paul says the problems combined to create a sense of chaos in the city. Kevin Stent/Stuff Councillor Jill Day said the removal of the Te Aro Park toilets was a priority for cultural and safety reasons.
