Central Wellington to be car-free

Reporter Community News

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.

FREE 10-liter emergency water bottles

Michael from Newtown

Merry Christmas -

I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.

Best wishes - Michael
