After a long-term driver shortage and chaotic changes to the bus network, Metlink is promising that a new review of routes will set things straight.
Several extra services will be added to meet rush-hour demand, and several routes extended to run directly from outer suburbs to the centre city, starting from October 25.
The changes will remove some of the most unpopular aspects of the 2018 ‘Bustrastrophe’ network fiasco, particularly the need to make multiple transfers across different services.
With Guy Fawkes fast approaching, Wellington Zoo and SPCA Wellington Centre would like to remind residents who live close to the Zoo to please be thoughtful and respectful around letting off fireworks as this can be very frightening for both Zoo animals and neighbourhood pets.

Last year, an animal at the Zoo died and it is believed to be the result of distress caused by fireworks.
Under the Wellington City Council Public Places Bylaw it is an offence to “discharge a firework in a public place” and this includes the Town Belt and Melrose Park which backs onto the Zoo.
Park Rangers will on patrol during Guy Fawkes night, however you can help even further by respecting this bylaw and encouraging your neighbours to do the same.

We saw some friendly ghosts and even some costumed pooches this year! We'd love for you to spread the joy further than your backyard by sharing a snap from your Halloween festivities below 🎃

"So, while Jeffs will be left watching the Commonwealth Games team from her living room this year, there is little doubt one of New Zealand swimming's most colourful characters will not be forgotten from sporting history."
Never one to shy away from controversy, Jeffs was arguably best known for being sponsored by a strip club at the Barcelona Olympics.
Jeffs won two Commonwealth bronze medals and was 27th at the Olympics.
At a time when many top swimmers stopped competing in their early 20s, Jeffs was notable for her long career in the pool.
In 2003 Jeffs won a legal battle against the New Zealand Olympic Committee, who admitted a selection blunder had cost her a place in the Olympic team.
The year before, at the Manchester Commonwealth Games, she regained her New Zealand title and won bronze in the 50m freestyle.
In 2007, she hinted that she would take up Masters swimming and refused to rule out a comeback. At that time, she was living on a lifestyle block in the Wairarapa.
Despite the prediction that she would not be forgotten, she has been out of the limelight in the years since.
A poll on Neighbourly was overwhelmingly in favour of Aayla Toman playing in the Pacific Youth Cup in Wainuiomata over the weekend.

Nearly 1200 people took part in our pool and 76 per cent were in favour of her playing.
Unfortunately, doing the haka with her team-mates was as close as she got to the action.
Aayla, 13, had hoped to take the field for the Te Whanganui-a-Tara U13s at the Pacific Youth Cup in Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt, on Saturday, but was told the referee would not allow the game to start if she played.
Standing on the sideline during her team’s first match against Samoa Wellington, Aayla said she had been overcome with emotion before the match, but doing the haka had made her feel better.
This chart sums it up: it went lousy on 1 September and probably won't improve until December.

Hello what's Kilbirnie's/Lyall Bay/Rongitai's mood over trick or treating this year?
Still doing it? is there a trail page to add an address?
I know I'm willing to do some kind of candy hand out at a distance if folks are worried about pandemic cooties.
