It was wonderful to have so many guests at Wednesday's meeting - and so keen to take part! Finnian even scored the best Table Topics Award - great effort from a very natural speaker.

Nakhia's Table Topics questions certainly got us thinking about the meeting theme of "Protecting Our Environment" - and prepared speeches spanned dealing with illness when there's a language difference; mentoring; coping with fear; and smartphone addiction.

Next week's the 5th Wednesday of the month, so we'll have a break from our usual meeting format - the theme will be "Interpersonal Communication". Look forward to seeing you then :)

Wellington Water continues to work on the Omāroro Reservoir Pipelines Project in Mt Cook, installing pipelines to connect the planned Prince of Wales reservoir to the city network and making our water supply more resilient to disaster and disruption.

The Pipelines Project is set for completion in mid-2020 and will affect traffic in the area as new pipelines are installed down Hargreaves Street and then into Wallace Street which is a major arterial road.

While every effort is being made to reduce impact on commuter traffic and disruption, this will cause delays and disruptions, but this is sometimes unavoidable due to the location of the pipes and for health and safety reasons.

Traffic information will be well sign posted. Please take care and follow directions, or use alternative routes avoiding the Mt Cook area.

We are working closely with residents in the area, and pedestrian access won’t be affected.

Apologies for any inconvenience, and thank you for your cooperation in improving the city’s water infrastructure.

Poll: Have you ever challenged a parking ticket?

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.
