The Mt Vic tunnel, a long road to nowhere

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Politicians have been been talking about a second Mt Victoria tunnel since the 1950s.
A second tunnel is a key component in Lets Gets Wellington Moving, although progress on that is at a snail's pace.

Politicians have been been talking about a second Mt Victoria tunnel since the 1950s.
A second tunnel is a key component in Lets Gets Wellington Moving, although progress on that is at a snail's pace.
This week the Green Party came up with a new idea - two new additional tunnels. The Greens would not block the proposed car tunnel but would like to see two more built.
One would be a dedicated walking and cycling tunnel parallel to the existing Mt Victoria car tunnel, the second would be a light rail tunnel in Newtown, near Wellington Zoo.

We are getting a new couch so hoping someone has a use for our current one to avoid taking it to landfill.

The couch has been both a family couch and a flat couch and as a result the foam is has shifted a bit in some places and it also has a few marks.

This is a nice big squishy couch and great for naps! Each piece is separate (5 pieces in total) so you can set it up to fit whatever space you have. There are two corner pieces, 2 straight pieces, and an ottoman.

Some well-placed cushions and blankets would help fill in the gaps to ensure it is comfortable.

The couch would need to be picked up sometime in the next couple of weeks. We are home most days so it doesn't even have to be on a weekend!

I will probably also list elsewhere - for free :)

Hi everyone. If you didn't make it to last weekends garden open days we're happy to let you know our garden will be open again this weekend, tomorrow and Sunday 10 am until 3.30pm
at 34 St Johns Tce, Tawa.
Despite the terrible weather the tulip displays are looking beautiful with more bulbs coming into flower everyday. There is much to enjoy so please do come along and explore.

We have opened our garden, entry by donation, as a fundraiser for the final production of Massey University's Creative Media Production students. Our eldest son is a member of this team.

Let's hope the weather is better than last weekend.



Thank you for your support.
