    A big decision for Wellington City Council today

    A big decision for Wellington City Council today


    It votes on whether to strengthen the existing central library, or knock it down and rebuild.

    Its preference is the highest remediation option available, but Wellingtonians remain divided.

    The final decision will be incorporated into the Long Term Plan.
