Council concerned about dogs not under proper control.
The Hutt City Council is reminding dog owners to take more care in public.
"The weather has been outstanding recently and we love to see everyone enjoying it. Unfortunately, with more people out and about, we have had more frequent notifications about dogs not being kept under control.
In public places – such as beaches and bush tracks – all dogs must be leashed In designated dog exercise areas, if you are responsible for a dog, general consideration towards others – whether human or animal – must be taken. This could be done in many different ways depending on the behaviour and training of your dog e.g. a dog can be controlled by a leash, whistle, voice command or hand signal. The Dog Control Act 1996 – section 5 states under obligations of dog owners: every owner of a dog is required - (b) to ensure that the dog is kept under control, at all times (f) to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the dog does not injure, endanger, intimidate, or otherwise cause distress to any person."

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
