Missing Man - Hutt Valley
Police are asking for the public’s help to locate a Hutt Valley man who has been missing for two months.
Thomas Basire, 28, was last seen near the Ewen Bridge on Railway Ave, walking on the stop bank towards Petone on 24 November 2024.
Tom was wearing a red long-sleeved sweatshirt, black trousers and black sneakers at the time of his disappearance.
Today, Police have a specialist search team conducting a search of the Hutt River and riverbank.
It is out of character for Tom to not be in contact with his family, especially to miss seeing his family on his birthday in December.
Both Police and Tom’s family have serious concerns for his wellbeing and would like to know he is safe.
If you have any information on Tom’s whereabouts, please update us online now or call 105, quoting reference number 241213/6143.

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?
Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.
For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.
Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.

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?
