Do we need an Airport Flyer?
Wellington Airport is currently calling for tenders for the Airport Flyer bus service.
Hutt South MP Chris Bishop is taking an interest in the process and is advocating for a service running from Lower Hutt.
He lists his priorities as.
1. Making sure there is a direct Hutt-Airport bus service.
2. Ensuring it accepts Snapper and appears on the real-time boards. In time, it should be part of the integrated ticketing network too.
3. He does not care if it is a commercial or a subsidised service run by the regional council.

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
