Central Wellington to be car-free
Do you support taking cars of the Golden Mile?
The main thoroughfares through central Wellington are set to be car-free within three years after local authorities approved a dramatic revamp of the “Golden Mile” from the Beehive to the end of Courtenay Place.
Priority will instead be given to people travelling on foot or bike or bus, with footpaths widened by up to 75 per cent and bus-only lanes – one in each direction – along the entire stretch, which runs along Lambton Quay and Willis Street, then down Manners Street and Courtenay Place.
The changes were strongly opposed by retailers, many of whom are still suffering from Covid-induced flexible working patterns, but local leaders sought to calm their fears yesterday.
Poll: Could we live without public bins?
Many public rubbish bins are being removed by councils due to the large costs of regularly emptying them. Do you think we can adapt and live without them?

Driving lessons
I have been driving heavy vehicles for over 24 years and I'm soon going for my truck and trailer licence. I have a certificate from Holden NZ for driving a V8 supercar with the police.
I've had 15 students I've helped from understanding the road code to helping them get their full license. My rates are good so let me help you.
Items going missing?
Let me install cameras in and around your house. I've had parcels stolen and now I've got cameras with 24/7 live feed. Contact Gunner on 0279658111.
