Love Local Christmas

Simone Borgstede from Wellington City Council

It's officially the month of Christmas!

The next few months will see a host of exciting new initiatives joining established events to add extra festive colour to the city and support downtown retailers - brought to you by WellingtonNZ and WCC.

There will be a Shop on Shop off bus, parking specials, and a new Love Local Pop-Up Shop on the corner of Willis and Mercer Streets, featuring a unique partnership with some of our local favourites (hint...hint... Fix & Fogg and Fogg).

There'll also be a dynamic programme of free local live music, circus and other performances will appear in shops, parks and streets to make shopping more entertaining on Thursdays till Sundays throughout December.

Local Builders for All Types of Work

Bear (Adam) from Minter-Webber Building

Hi There!

I've been lurking on Neighbourly for quite some time now, and I've yet to post. So here it is.

I'm a qualified licensed builder with a small team of tradesmen. We do all manner of residential building work, be it minor repairs or full house builds.

We thoroughly enjoy the work we do, and we aim to do the best we can every time.

Last year we were building three large townhouses near Waterloo Station, and this year we have built numerous decks, done some bathroom and kitchen renovations, a few roofing jobs and various maintenance work.

We are currently in the midst of a fairly complex renovation, and in the coming months we will be starting a large re-clad and window replace job and a new architectural house build.

Anyway, if you're looking for a builder or have any work you'd like to get done, feel free to get in touch.

Cheers!
Bear
