Here’s some interesting feedback we’ve received from you so far:
· You want paths along the stop banks to be wide enough for multiple users
· A pedestrian / cycling bridge opposite Margaret Street [would be] good, linking to the railway station
· It's worth moving the bridge [to Queens Drive] and making a better link to the CBD

Autumn is a great time to sow new lawn as there is still enough warmth in the sun and a bit of rain to help with the watering.
Tidy up all dips, hollows and bare patches, re-seed if necessary.
Apply a lawn fertiliser to all existing lawns, spread evenly and water in.

Further testing of this well came back negative but as a further precaution Wellington Water is testing further across the water network and chlorination will continue while this happens.
Because the public bores at Buick Street and Dowse Square can’t be chlorinated, on advice from Regional Public Health they have been closed, again as a precaution during further testing. Read the background on our website www.huttcity.govt.nz...

Was wandering of how to get notices up about school holiday programmes as I hear from a lot of friends that there are programmes happening at the Naenae Pools this Holidays and I had signed a form for my 2 kids to go to programmes but never get any indication either email or letter to say what is happening. Can someone possibly get notices out to schools or even notice boards to tell public about the Holiday programmes for kids to enjoy the Holidays and not cause to much chaos for their parents or the community.
Have ideas you want us to known. You still have time to provide feedback on aspects of the RiverLink Project, go to www.riverlink.co.nz.... Feedback is open until 28 April.

In the meantime, see how Armistice was celebrated in Petone in 1919. The photo attached, thanks to Petone Library, shows a 'Peace Tower' built to straddle Jackson Street as part of the celebrations.
