Update from Council's roading team

The Team from Wellington City Council

After years of trials and development, the Council's roading team have said goodbye to sticky roads and flying stones with their new climate-positive chipseal! ๐Ÿš—

The move from traditional kerosene-based bitumen (asphalt) to an emulsified (water-based) version has had many benefits including:
๐Ÿ’ช Increased strength & durability of our roads
๐Ÿญ Halved Council's chipseal carbon emissions
๐Ÿ‘ท Made the process of roading safer for our road workers

To find out more about what goes into Wellington's roads, and how they're better for our city, check out the Our Wellington news channel here. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens arenโ€™t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days โ€” the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, whoโ€™s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
