How dangerous is your street, really?
- Talk Wellington
- When it comes to what’s safe on the roads, our perceptions are often far from reality. If you’re keen for some solid data, you’re in luck… “Main Street’s not that bad…” Dangerous things we interact with every day often feel less dangerous than they really are (and really very safe things we rarely do feel...

Review: Krishnan’s Dairy
- The Wellingtonista
- Review by Talia Carlisle. A wise man once told me that real loves grows, and so does my love of Indian Ink’s now legendary tale of Krishnan’s Dairy that wound up its final season in Wellington this week.

Schumann and Psathas in Orchestra Wellington’s Circle of Friends
- Wellington City Libraries
- In this post Corrina, one of the librarians from our Te Awe Library, explores some of the music featuring in Saturday night’s Orchestra Wellington concert at the Michael Fowler Centre, focusing on John Psathas’s new concerto ‘Leviathan’, and Robert Schumann’s ‘Symphony No. 2 in C major’, and exploring some of the books and recordings in our collection that may enrich our readers’ responses to the music of these two remarkable composers.

Reshaping Streets: that’s a big fat YES please

But, surprise (sigh) it needs your help to get over the line… ***FAST SUBMISSION SHORTCUT: SCROLL DOWN TO THE TYPING CAT**** The “Reshaping Streets”...

Dreaming of a logistical future
- Talk Wellington
- Looking internationally it’s clear Wellington’s delivery logistics could be improved. A lot of it comes down to that “last mile.” Improving this starts with freight distribution hubs. As Wellington car-frees larger parts of the city, we have the opportunity to rethink our logistics and delivery procedures. This could mean adjusting the times delivery vehicles are...

The rise of age-friendly housing. Can vertical still be accessible?
- Talk Wellington
- There’s an assumption that housing for elderly or intergenerational families can’t add any height. But with care accessible, tight-knit, multi-storied or even high-rise communities are more than doable. So, how do you achieve that? Multi-storey housing is generally considered automatically unviable for older citizens. Particularly if these structures have their bedrooms upstairs and don’t have...

Fixing Wellington’s Water Woes
- Sarah Free
- There is no doubt we have been through a difficult time with our water infrastructure. My view is that generally aging infrastructure combined with damage from the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake accelerated breakages, and repairing this is not helped by a diminished workforce at Wellington Water (they are currently down one third of their staff). In […]

Missing the Cook Strait News
- Sarah Free
- I placed an ad with Regional News this week, but to be honest, I’ve had no feedback at all that people have seen it. ( Let me know if you have!) Anyway here is my pitch: Vote #1 Sarah Free for Motukairangi/Eastern Ward As Deputy Mayor, I’ve worked constructively with others to get things done. […]
