Campbell Barry grew up dreaming of being a journalist or a fast bowler steaming in for the Black Caps at Lords. Instead, he became a city councillor, a part-time Uber driver and, for a while, worked for the Police Complaints Authority. His love for cricket, however, has never left him and these ...

So we want to know. Would you like more daylight in the evenings? Are you happy returning from work in the dark? Do you like the idea of clocks going back early May - rather than early April? Share your thoughts on whether you love or loathe this idea and make sure you vote in our Daylight Savings poll too.

Drop in any time from 11am - 2pm at The Dowse Art Museum (James Coe 2 meeting room) to hear more about this exciting project.
The proposed cycleway will provide a connection between residential areas, workplaces, the hospital, schools, the CBD, local shopping centres and public transport hubs. We want to use the rail corridor to create a cycling 'spine', extending between Seaview and Taita. It will also link to the planned Wainuiomata and Eastern Bays shared pathways as well as the Hutt River Trail.
If you’d like to find out more, call in tomorrow, we look forward to seeing you!

The harm reduction campaign, which is targeted at and co-designed with 18-25 year olds, has been developed by Massey University creative enterprise students in response to recent statistics.
Research from the Metro Neighbourhood Policing Team (CBD’s Community Police) indicates that young adults in Wellington are overrepresented in anti-social behaviour (criminal and non-criminal), and one third of 18-24 year olds drink alcohol to a level that carries a risk of harming the drinker’s physical or mental health, or having harmful social effects on the drinker or others. With the principle aim of encouraging young people to understand the consequences of their actions, the digital and print based campaign, Check Yourself uses common Kiwi slang to address problems before they escalate.
Acting Area Prevention Manager Inspector Clint Walker adds: "Police are working closely with Wellington City Council to reduce the incidents of alcohol harm as we strive towards everybody being safe and feeling safe".
The campaign will also use outdoor advertising, including large carnival mirrors, which will be installed throughout the entertainment district and at events such as O-Week and Jim Beam Homegrown festival. The mirrors will be used as part of a social competition, encouraging young people to share their pictures on Twitter and Instagram using #CheckYourselfNZ to win a range of exciting prizes, including tickets to Homegrown at Wellington Waterfront.
For more information on the campaign and videos please visit: www.checkyourself.co.nz
