Wellington City Councillor Nicola Young on tensions over their new office

Wellington City Councillor Nicola Young joins the show to discuss the complaints over the new council building.

Young was not present at the blessing for the new office building on the waterfront.

She says although she doesn't usually attend early morning ceremonies, she wouldn't of gone anyway as part of a boycott among some councillors.

The boycott is over complaints the office space is not sufficient, particularly the office of Mayor Andrew Little - nicknamed by Young as "the dungeon". 

The office sits on the first floor and has two windows looking onto a carpark and a brick wall. Young says this is a bad look for visitors, while the executives and officials get the penthouse. 

She says this shows where the power lies.
