Lets take care of each other.
Hi All,
Lets take care of each other. This is a very different time. Let's make it as good as we can for each other.
Our Council has a Help Desk. To call it, the number is: 04 4994444
There is also a great Fix it App for your phone. It can be downloaded.
The Covid 19 website is the most important place to get information.
covid19.govt.nz...
They have a helpline on 0800 779 997 (8am–1am, 7 days a week).
There are people who are there to help, if need be. We also have our wonderful Student Army out and about, if required.
I'll be posting items of interest and information on my Facebook too.

I'm up for hearing and sharing innovative caring ideas to help us get through this.
my email is simon.woolf@wcc.govt.nz
Please eat healthily, and keep fit during this time.
So lets take care of each other, be sensible, and we will get through this together.
Regards
Simon

Help settle the great kiwi debate ... cheese on top, or folded inside?

We're taking the bus!
The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.
Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.
It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.
It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.
With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?
Poll: Tightening the belt at the pump ... How are you pivoting? 🚌🚲🏠
Between the headlines about the Strait of Hormuz and the creeping costs at our local stations, the "fuel crisis" has moved from the news to our wallets.
A recent opinion piece in The Post suggested that Wellington Councils should be shifting our public facilities to renewable energy ASAP to keep our rates from being vulnerable to these global fuel hikes. It’s a big conversation for the city, but what about your daily commute?
We want to know: With fuel prices staying high for the foreseeable future, are you changing how you get around the capital?
-
18.8% Yes – I’m a bus/train user
-
6.1% Dusting off the bike
-
6.1% Working from home

62.4% Nope, same as always
-
6.6% Other (Tell us your strategy in the comments!)
