Bike, Bus and Pedestrian Drop In Info Sessions

Simone Borgstede from Wellington City Council

Join us on the corner of Riddiford and Green Street outside the old ANZ Bank to find out more about the improvements to biking, busing and walking happening in your community.

When: Thursday 19 May - 8am to 10.30am

Pop by for a chance to ask any questions about the installation and the changes that are happening, check out the routes, the materials being used and find out how you can provide feedback and help us improve the new lanes once they’re in.

Wellingtonians want the Council to take urgent climate action, and making changes like this so more people of all ages and abilities can get about in low carbon ways is one of the most important things we can do to set the city up for the future.

Receive $100 Prezzy card — help us to test some online content

Eleanor from Berhampore

At my work, Write Limited, we’re testing some online content on behalf of a government department. We’re looking for a range of people to help us.

By taking part, you’d help to shine a light into important subjects that affect many New Zealanders. We can’t tell you what it’s about before you take part, as we don’t want to affect the results. But hopefully you’ll find it interesting!

We’re looking for people from any ethnic group, and any age from 18-65. Specifically, we’d love to talk to you if you’re interested in government projects that impact New Zealanders.

We’ll have a $100 Prezzy card for you as a small token of our thanks.

If you’re happy to be involved, email rebecca@write.co.nz to let us know why you’d participating, and your preferred day and time.

When: 13, 14, 15, 16, or 17 May between 9.00am and 4.00pm (or in the evening if that suits you better)

Test length: 1 hour

Where: Online (Zoom) or in-person at our offices on Lambton Quay. If you join us on Zoom, ideally you’re familiar with sharing screens.
