Not news. Not if you use this station. Published in the very early morning, not prime time. Something has to be done about this.

I thought the design of the lumpy roof was to increase airflow. Guess it didnt work :/

I hear you. It's a rotten design for that place and that purpose. And the tweaks haven't done thing one to improve matters. I miss the old Spencer St station - flawed as it was it was better than this.

Despite writing to the station's management, Keith Loveridge did not succeed in getting the air quality data.

He received this response from the then-CEO Phillip Walker.

"You seem to be under some impression that we are compelled to provide information to you – that is not the case, we are a privately run organisation and as such we correspond with you out of courtesy not necessity," Mr Walker wrote.
