Have your say before it is too late on the new Wellington park policies
Have you seen the parking policy for Wellington? They will increase parking charges and the time that you can be charged (e.g. evenings), they will make you pay for parking where your kids play sports, near recreational activities, parks trails, etc. Have your say, read the policy before it is too late. We will no longer have a vibrant CBD because people will shop and dine in Petone and LowerHutt.
They will even give themselves the authority to charge parking on streets in the suburbs like Tawa, Johnsonville, etc

Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
