‘In deep trouble’: Neil Mitchell says Melbourne has become a ‘sad, sad city’
Neil Mitchell says Melbourne is “in deep trouble” and the CBD urgently needs caps on office worker limits to be lifted.
“I think the city feels really sad at the moment, it’s partly COVID, it’s partly just rundown,” the 3AW Mornings host said.
“It’s feeling grubby and dirty and underused and a bit threatening.
“A lot of it is businesses closed, empty shops because they’ve been crippled by COVID. Hopefully we can get through that.”
Neil Mitchell called for the lifting of office worker restrictions, which are “killing the city” to be prioritised.
“Melbourne is in deep trouble,” he said.
“We need people back into the city as soon as its safe, for the sake of the city … for the sake of the cafes and restaurants, for the sake of Melbourne’s soul.” Press PLAY below for more.
