Do you support taking cars of the Golden Mile?

The main thoroughfares through central Wellington are set to be car-free within three years after local authorities approved a dramatic revamp of the “Golden Mile” from the Beehive to the end of Courtenay Place.
Priority will instead be given to people travelling on foot or bike or bus, with footpaths widened by up to 75 per cent and bus-only lanes – one in each direction – along the entire stretch, which runs along Lambton Quay and Willis Street, then down Manners Street and Courtenay Place.
The changes were strongly opposed by retailers, many of whom are still suffering from Covid-induced flexible working patterns, but local leaders sought to calm their fears yesterday.

This weeks SPCA Pet of the Day is Scarlett the cat.

"I have come such a long way from the scared frightened little kitten found on a farm with my sister. I am now looking for a wonderful home where I can continue learning about this big wide world.
I will be quite worried in a new environment, so I will need an understanding family who is willing to give me the time to adjust. I would benefit from someone being around for parts of the day or another like-minded cat for company. I try to be brave and once I know you, I will really enjoy your company. I will just need time to get to know you. I really love the attention I get from my caregivers, so I know that in time, I will get to really appreciate you too."

Whittaker’s has turned the chocolate world upside down with its new innovative new Peanut Butter and Jelly 250g Block.
Whittaker’s co-chief operating officer, Holly Whittaker, says having more than one filling in a block is a first for Whittaker’s and something a bit different from the way other chocolate flavour combinations are produced.
Recently named the Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Brand for the tenth consecutive year, Whittaker’s also celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. It will be available for a limited time only in supermarkets nationwide from Monday June 21.
Are you going to try it and are there any other flavours you would like to see combined into one block?

Immerse yourself in a sound healing journey like no other as David and Belinda use the power of voice work and crystal singing bowls to take you through a balancing of the masculine and feminine energies.

We will use crystal singing bowls designed to resonate at the healing frequency of each chakra to move through your energy centres; clearing, cleansing and aligning your entire system. The crystal singing bowls raise your frequency and energy, and you will leave the experience feeling rejuvenated, energised and buzzing.

Sound healing is a form of easy focused meditation, and creates the inner environment for your body to heal itself. There is nothing for you to do except lay back and enjoy the experience.

A study, published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine, found that one session of sound meditation helped people reduce tension, anger, fatigue, anxiety, and depression while increasing a sense of spiritual well-being.

Beginners welcome, no experience necessary.

PLEASE BRING: yoga mat, cushion for your head, and a blanket for comfort. (We'll have a few spares)

Date: Fri, 2nd July
Time: 7pm - 8pm (6:45pm arrival)
Venue: Wellington South Baptist Church - Hall
284 The Parade, Island Bay

Comfortable seats available. Easy wheelchair access.

Bookings essential: www.theoracleshopnz.com...

9) How many rentals do you currently manage?
PPM answer: I personally manage 54. Our maximum number of properties that one person can manage in our company is 75. We do this on purpose so that we still have time to deal with any issues on a personal basis – to us you are not a number and when you call, we will be there.
