Have you been affected by the latest bus problems? What do you think about the Council shared with the select committee yesterday?

A December 1 deadline has been given to fix major problems with Wellington's struggling new bus network. The eight-week deadline would make sure buses were on time and there was enough space on them. Read more here.

GWRC has also agreed to:
- Extend the route 18e service to a seven-day a week service including service between 6 – 8 PM, from Miramar North to Karori South, providing direct connections to Newtown, the Hospital, Massey University and Victoria University Kelburn Campus
- To reinstate the route 14 service to start from the Kilbirnie hub rather than Hataitai
- Investigate options, a timeframe and implications for route splitting the Route No 2 to provide direct off-peak services from Strathmore Park and Miramar North to the CBD
- Identify options and a timeframe for putting in place morning and evening peak hour services for Route 23 between Mornington/Vogeltown and the Golden Mile;
- Identify options for extending the No 23e (to service the Zoo off-peak)
- Investigate the potential to join the No 12/20/21 services; the No 20/21 services; and/or the No 14/12 services across the City
- Identify the process and timetable for identifying route and service options changes for Churton Park.

Hi all

Unfortunately again one of the schools I care for has been targeted by drunk people with apparently nothing better to do.

Either late last night or in the early hours of thismorning Hampton Hill School in Tawa had 4 Large classroom windows smashed.
1 of the windows was broken from a thrown white vase, bong or glass alcohol bottle (see photos below). I can't make out exactly what it is as it had no labels but the neck is an interesting shape.

On all four windows the force of the blow shattered glass across the entire room and all through classroom furniture.

The cost of these windows will likely be over $1000 so can't be ignored. this has happened several times this year and can't go on.
Beer and rtd cans were found on site which have been taken by Police for finger printing.

Please if anyone has any information or noticed something strange around Tawa last night contact myself or the police.
These things usually happen in the school holidays which makes me think they may be older college students. If your child came home with cuts or was out with friends drinking locally last night then please ask some questions.

Obviously the schools would love to increase their security options but with costs like this it's hard to afford and I would much prefer their money to be used on the kids, not tracking down undesirables.

Anyway thank you all for any time given to this post, I hope for some news.

Kind regards, Lockie Hawkins
