The City to Sea Bridge has been barriered off today!

Chris from Hataitai

I am absolutely furious at the City Council’s actions in barriering off the City to Sea Bridge today. The case to demolish this bridge is far from proven. This is high-handed in the extreme, and a shameful action based on a misguided, ill-informed and ideologically-driven decision.

I am discussing a possible major protest meeting with Helene Ritchie, Chair of the Civic Trust. Watch this space and please be prepared to show your support for those of us who oppose the summary demolition of this bridge.

I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

Poll: Tightening the belt at the pump ... How are you pivoting? 🚌🚲🏠

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Between the headlines about the Strait of Hormuz and the creeping costs at our local stations, the "fuel crisis" has moved from the news to our wallets.

A recent opinion piece in The Post suggested that Wellington Councils should be shifting our public facilities to renewable energy ASAP to keep our rates from being vulnerable to these global fuel hikes. It’s a big conversation for the city, but what about your daily commute?

We want to know: With fuel prices staying high for the foreseeable future, are you changing how you get around the capital?
