Wellington health authorities are redistributing coronavirus vaccines across the region to try to ensure the most vulnerable people are inoculated – in case supplies run out before the next Pfizer shipment arrives.
This effort to eke out the remaining doses comes amid soaring demand for Covid tests and for vaccinations as the capital region nervously awaits news on the infected Sydney traveller who visited a range of eateries and tourist attractions in central Wellington over the weekend.

The Wellington City Council is proposing to extend paid parking hours in the CBD by two to four hours every night, as it continues its push to reduce the number of private vehicles on the capital’s streets.
The change would apply to about 3300 central city parking spaces, and is another clear message to motorists to leave their cars at home as the council looks to free up road space and manage demand.
If approved by councillors on June 30 as part of the council’s 10-year plan, paid parking hours would be extended to 8pm from Sunday to Thursday, and 10pm on Friday and Saturday.
What do you think? Is it a good idea

A derelict, “dangerous” house for sale in Northland has sold for $806,500.
Listing agent Ben Atwill of Ray White Wellington City says the house that no-one is permitted to enter attracted five bidders, including one international bidder.
Atwill said the owner was served notice by the council, which deemed the house dangerous due to its compromised structural integrity, and therefore uninhabitable.

Hi Neighbours,
I am looking for a small outdoor dog kennel. It must be waterproof. Does anyone have one they no longer use? I am willing to pay for it.
