Tawa area rail works over December-January
KiwiRail have asked us to share some information about their Xmas Works Schedule.
KiwiRail will carry out maintenance work on the rail line near Melville Street, Oxford Street and Duncan Street during December and the Christmas period - specifically for the Tawa area, around the track crossover points just south of Tawa station, and at the Collins Ave level crossing area.
They plan to complete the activities in daytime hours, on the following dates:
9 – 13 December
15 – 20 December
26 December – 6 January 2019
If you have any queries about this work, we encourage you to contact KiwiRail: 04 474 2332 or email Grant.Burton@kiwirail.co.nz
For part of this work the Wellington Metro kapiti line will be Shut Down for the period Dec 26th - Jan 06 2019.
During the Shut Down there will be a bus replacement service operating - details of which are posted at each rail station.
Please treat tracks as operational as normal at all times and observe normal non access of track areas.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Garden Open days 8th, 15th and possibly 22nd March, 34 St Johns Tce, Tawa
Hi. This is just a reminder that we are inviting you to come and explore our garden tomorrow from 10.30 until 4pm to share in its early autumn beauty. It took quite a beating from the recent storm but we have worked very hard and it is looking wonderful. Garden entry is $5 per adult and we are collecting donations for the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, Wellington.
We will also have plenty of locally grown flowering plants and succulents for sale so remember to bring plenty of spending money.
See you soon
Carolyn and Rob
