Thank you for your complaint regarding the pigeons in Wellington CBD.

Pigeons are an increasing problem within the city but unfortunately Wellington City Council has no current plans to eradicate pigeons.

We are trying to targeting those that are found to be feeding pigeons but we have to either catch them in the act or have strong evidence of who they are.

Building owners with a pigeon infestation problem can contact pest control at their own expense.

Stolen Shoes

Sue from Island Bay

Our cat has been roaming the neighbourhood stealing your shoes! I thought they were just my own daughter's jandals, but now at least 8 shoes have stacked up on our porch under cover of darkness!!! Some are singles, some are pairs, most are small-sized jandals. Please have a look at the photo … View moreOur cat has been roaming the neighbourhood stealing your shoes! I thought they were just my own daughter's jandals, but now at least 8 shoes have stacked up on our porch under cover of darkness!!! Some are singles, some are pairs, most are small-sized jandals. Please have a look at the photo and let me know if any are yours. I'm happy to drop them off at your place or feel free to stop by 7 Knoll Street to collect or view in person. I have no idea how far our cat burglar is wandering, but near neighbours might want to keep your shoes in at night or write your address on the bottom and I will return them if they show up on our porch!! I am so sorry about this!!!
