It was weird to learn today that the Wellington Chamber of Commerce lost two dozen members in June this year, the same month its forlorn fight to amalgamate the region came to an ignominious end.
The Chamber claimed a survey of its members showed many “businesses want to see some form of unification and change from the current model of nine councils”. The foggy description hides the real attitude their survey probably showed but it also hid the fact that many of those businesses were fed up to the eyeballs with the Chamber and wanted out.
The Chamber can’t seem to add two and two together to get the truth about their business – they suck at it.
