Too Much Backyard Fruit?
If your trees have more fruit than you can use, don't let it go to waste - get in touch with Community Fruit Wellington (ph: 022 596 9577 or email wellypickfruit@gmail.com) and our volunteers will come and pick, or collect already picked fruit, from you. Fruit goes to Kaibosh and some local Foodbanks who distribute it back into the community to those in need. Want to find out more about us? Go to our Facebook page, or come and visit us at the Island Bay "Day in the Bay" event on Sunday 11 February, or the Newtown Fair on Sunday 3 March. We'd love to have a chat about how we can work together to reduce unnecessary backyard fruit waste!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐ป๐จ๐
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?
-
37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
๐จ Wellington: Is the real summer finally here?
Itโs the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Wellington "summer" has felt more like a very long, very damp spring! ๐ง๏ธ Weโve 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 youโd recommend for a calm Wellington day? Drop them in the comments! ๐
