Poll: Would you like to see the regional council own the buses in Wgtn?

Wellington's regional council will this week lobby the Government to let it own and run its own buses in what would be a move back to the 1990s.
Regional council chairman Daran Ponter confirmed the council would this week make a submission to the Government which - assuming councillors agreed on Thursday - would call for a change in how public transport was tendered for and operated.
The key change would make it much easier for councils to buy and run buses rather than sending them out for tender. It would not necessarily mean councils retaking ownership of buses but would make that an option.

A new email scam impersonating the NZTA is being sent around telling vehicle owners their licences are due.

The email directs the recipient to renew the funds through clicking a 'Renew Now' button at the bottom corner of the email. It then takes the individual to fake website that gets them to fill in personal details.

CERT NZ, the government authority responsible for cyber security said in a tweet, that anyone who receives this email should report it directly to Waka Kotahi (NZTA).

How to spot a phishing scam:
- NZTA will only send an email through if an individual has contacted them first.
- Email addresses will always end in @nzta.govt.nz, @enews.nzta.govt.nz or @reply.nzta.govt.nz.
- The email may be missing specific details that the NZTA will have on file: such as your plate number, the date your vehicle license is due and vehicle make and model.
- Hover over buttons and links to see if the pop-up will take you to a genuine government (.govt.nz) website

Neighbourly will update this message as further information comes to hand.

Chiropractic is all about improving spine + nervous system health. This is particularly important when it comes to ensuring optimal development in our little bubs & kiddo's, as well as mitigating the stressors of pregnancy both prenatal and postpartum.

We commonly get asked if chiropractic is good throughout pregnancy, or if we can adjust babies & kids. The answer is absolutely!

We want to continue to educate & inform our community about the importance of nervous system health, and how the spine holds the key to it all. The best way to do that is to make wellness-based chiropractic more accessible!

Until the end of June we are reducing our initial consultation price for mums/bubs to $30 (normally up to $70)!

If you, or anyone you know , would love to start your wellness journey with us, please get in touch! We can't wait to hear from you.
