- WellUrban
- There's a lot going on regarding transport at the moment. First of all, if you believe that shutting down the trolley buses is a bad idea, then there's a public meeting at 3pm this Sunday to discuss what to do about it. Where? At the Aro Valley Community Hall, of course.

- It's just been announced that the council is seeking public feedback on the design of a new pocket park on the corner of Courtenay Pl and Taranaki St. I've been talking about this for a while, and the combination of wine bar, public square and good burgers looks like a winner.
