The Wellington City Milk-Supply Act 1919 made the council responsible for supplying residents with good quality milk at a reasonable price.
After World War One there was a concerns about the quality and the price of milk. The Act gave the council a monopoly to sell and distribute milk in the city, which it did until 987.
The Municipal Milk Department was deemed so successful the council produced a booklet outlining how the system worked to help other councils set up a similar scheme.

You may have noted, there's a growing demand for affordable dental care for adults, especially the senior citizens.
You can personally facilitate the response to this movement by requesting the services of Oratoa Dental in Porirua available to all without restriction.
It used to be available to anyone until a few years ago. Then they started to discriminate saying only people within Porirua will qualify.
Can we join hands to rectify this?
