"Save the Queen Street Society Incorporated, Auckland Council and Auckland Transport had a productive meeting this afternoon and are working together to reach a resolution," a Save the Queen Street spokesperson said. A statement from an Auckland Council spokesperson confirmed the meeting took place but was not so explicitly positive that a resolution over the impending High Court action would be found. "Auckland Council and Auckland Transport met with representatives from Save the Queen Street Society today and we have listened to their concerns. "That section of Queen St has two shopping plazas and a hotel and these proposed changes will mean that part of Queen St will have just one loading zone available at the peak courier delivery time of 7am to 10am.
