‘Weird’ city campaign raids Takapuna for shoppers Takapuna shoppers are being enticed by CBD advocacy group Heart of the City to take a free ride to central Auckland. “It’s a bit weird,” says Takapuna Beach Business Association chief executive Terence Harpur of the promotion using specially marked “Straight to the Heart” vehicles.
“We’ve seen them around Takapuna trying to get people into a cab,” Harpur said. Heart of the City is also targeting people in Newmarket and Ponsonby, offering them free one-way rides to shop in downtown Auckland. The bid to boost the inner city and its busi-
nesses by collecting shoppers from elsewhere follows a tough retail winter, with publicity about homelessness and crime in downtown Auckland and the city being difficult to navigate due to City Rail Link construction and road works. To page 2
