Greetings all,

I have been following articles on the proposed cycle ways in Wellington City recently. It seems to me that the Council are focusing on areas that don’t actually require new cycle ways and are neglecting safety issues for cyclists and pedestrians by failing to come up with a solution to cross Cobham Drive safely near the ASB.
The ASB is well used by many children during the week and even more heavily utilized over the weekend. Currently there is no safe way to cross from Cobham drive to the ASB directly without a car. A safe crossing needs to be implemented for the safety of everyone. This could be done by utilizing the Troy St roundabout as a midway point for a walkway /cycle way between the A.S.B, the fire station, and Cobham Drive.

The bracelet has great sentimental value to me as it was given to me by mum who is now in a home with dementia. It's a silver small size Pandora with 2 pink hearts one saying Mother and the other saying Daughter. I'm so upset to have lost it and would love to get it back. We have checked the car park and asked in store but nothing so far. If anybody has found it or knows someone that has, it would mean so much to me! Thank you.
