Safer Plates
Get tamper-resistant screws installed on your car for just $5.
Saturday 8 June, from 10 am - 2 pm
Drive on over to Churton Park New World Supermarket car park to get tamper-resistant screws installed on your vehicle. Wellington City Council is partnering with local Community Patrols and Police to help reduce theft of vehicle number plates.
Safer Plates is a country-wide programme to provide secure stainless steel screws to the public for $5 per vehicle, making it difficult for thieves to remove number plates. All the proceeds from the events go to the Community Patrols.
