As yet another day passes with police seemingly unable to deliver on threats to tow the protestors' vehicles and free up the streets around Parliament, frustration is growing.

And images of the party like atmosphere in the tent-city, with free food deliveries and clothes are only fuellinng the annoyance of locals, whose daily activities are being severely curtailed.

Councillor Fleur Fitzsimons says people in Wellington have been threatened and intimidated, and it's time the protestors went home.
