Stop Wellington Airport erecting the "WELLYWOOD" sign.

Petition details

This petition is for people who do not want the "WELLYWOOD" sign to be erected. Some reasons: 1. Unoriginality. If Wellington is trying to promote its creativity then copying the "HOLLYWOOD" sign would not achieve this - in fact, it would have the opposite effect. There are much better ways in which Wellington can show off its creativity. 2. An Eyesore. At the moment the site of the sign is green bush. Putting this "WELLYWOOD" sign up will detract from the beauty of the city.
