      <title>Roadkill and official information release shows growing mustelid pest problem for region</title>
      <link>https://www.gw.govt.nz/your-region/news/roadkill-and-official-information-release-shows-growing-mustelid-pest-problem-for-region/</link>
      <description>In bad news for birdlife, roadkill and trappings have shown that Transmission Gully is a mustelid highway - with stoats, ferrets and weasels among the animals using it to get around. &#xD;
&#xD;
An official information release from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport agency shows 226 pests were trapped between November 2022 and January 2024, with rats, stoats, weasels, hedgehogs, mice, ferrets, possums, and rabbits all making the list. &#xD;
&#xD;
Chair of Greater Wellington, Daran Ponter, says that the news is worrying for conservation efforts like Capital Kiwi and Predator Free Wellington and that current central government budgets are wholly inadequate.</description>

      <title>Metlink’s Airport Express set to break 2023 patronage record</title>
      <link>https://www.gw.govt.nz/your-region/news/metlinks-airport-express-set-to-break-2023-patronage-record/</link>
      <description>Eight months since Metlink’s Airport Express exceeded forecast demand, latest patronage figures indicate a new record is poised to be set.&#xD;
&#xD;
364,191 trips were recorded on the fully electric buses’ first year of operation to 20 July 2023 – 128% of the number expected. With over 320,000 trips already taken in the service’s second year of operation and figures for April and May forecast to be around 36,000 in each month, patronage is set to surpass the 2023 total in just ten months.&#xD;
&#xD;
Greater Wellington chair Daran Ponter say he’s delighted by the patronage growth which underscores Metlink’s commitment to providing efficient and reliable transport options for our residents and visitors alike.</description>
