๐Ÿ’จ Wellington: Is the real summer finally here?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Itโ€™s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Wellington "summer" has felt more like a very long, very damp spring! ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Weโ€™ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately.

In fact, The Post reports that our "pretty average" summer has been tough on the local venues and events that usually thrive under the sun. But don't pack away the sunscreen just yet!

The good news? The next couple of weeks are looking a bit more "settled" (the Wellington word for "not a gale-force downpour"). With autumn officially here, now is the time to squeeze every last drop out of the season! โ˜€๏ธ

Any local hidden spots or activities youโ€™d recommend for a calm Wellington day? Drop them in the comments! ๐Ÿ‘‡

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
