New Te Wharepōuri street sign unveiled!
Yesterday we unveiled the new, corrected street sign for Te Wharepōuri Street – previously known as Waripori Street, in Berhampore.
Students from South Wellington Intermediate celebrated the moment with an awesome kapa haka performance tamariki from the local Berhampore Kindergarten came along to join the celebrations.
The new street name recognises Te Wharepouri, a chief of Te Āti Awa, who travelled to the Wellington region from Taranaki in 1832.

Combining biking with bus travel
Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
