We can solve this WCC
Took these pictures on one walk this week - 5 disposable masks just dropped on the road and footpaths along Cashmere Ave and Burma Rd area. Yep, totally agree that people should simply not drop them, but also firmly believe that Council and Metlink etc should support this by installing bins at every bus stop. Train stations have them already, but bus stops don't. As a litter-picker-upper I can also confirm that drink boxes and cans, and snack and takeaway wrappers are more densely discarded near bus stops and in gutters on main routes.
So WCC, please can we respond, adapt and roll with this changed world we live in - and install rubbish bins (even a recycling option if we were going to be truly innovative...) at bus stops all across Wellington? We can support and encourage people to be responsible (dog walkers included probably!) and clean up our roads and neighborhoods at the same time. Simple really.
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
