What would you like to see in your local council's outdoor space policy?
More concerts, festivals and markets are on the cards for Wellington City if a new plan is approved by council.
The council is reviewing its policies for trading and events in public spaces, making some areas more accessible while placing heavier regulations in others.
26 parks, reserves and carparks are being explored to allow commercial trading, street vendors, tourist activities and recreational equipment to operate.
Commercial activities that might degrade public land, like commercial tours and fitness classes may be charged a licensing fee to cover administration, repairs and maintenance.
A limit on dog walkers and a reduction of footpath signage would be a part of the council's plan to scrap two pieces of existing policy.
Would you support the changes if your local council implemented them? Let us know in the comments below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comments featured in the Kāpiti Observer.

When Erich Krogmann started the Food and Beverage Level 2 qualification, he had to learn how to balance study with a night job and a young family, but his main challenge came in the form of his hearing disability.
Erich says he thinks he’s inspired other people with a disability to take on training.

Made by Lion's craftsman Peter Mansfield, the box made its first appearance in 2001, as part of the Combined Lions Clubs of Kāpiti Monster Bookfair.
Project manager Peter Cresswell said the box has always been a very popular depository, so much so that it now needing a roster of 18 Lions to empty it twice daily for seven days a week.
"In our estimation more than a million book have been dropped into its slots over the last two decades. This in turn has enabled us to raise nearly three-quarters of a million dollars, the majority of which goes to needy worthwhile Kāpiti organisations."
The Lions Monster Bookfair will be held in the Waikanae Memorial Hall on the weekend of October 16 and 17. The Lions Clubs of Paraparaumu and Waikanae are asking the community to be as generous as they have been in the past and to go through their bookshelves and basements for surplus book, others will enjoy.
Drop-off points are at Raumati Beach (Coastal Mowers Ltd), Paraparauma Beach (180 Degrees Café) and Waikanae (Bohanna Motors and Picture Perfect Framing).
Anyone wanting larger quantities of books collected should contact Peter Cresswell on 904 2699 or Jim Hall on 04 298 5131.
