Zumba! Zumba! Zumba!
- Wellington Scoop
- he city council phoned me this week. It wanted to know what I thought about its plan for a city-wide drinking ban 24 hours a day and seven days a week. It wasn’t actually the council who called. It was a market research company, hired by the council. But the questioning were more or less unbiased, except when the researcher told me the police prefer a city-wide ban. However he didn’t push the council view.

The new Manners Street: speed is needed if you want to object
- Wellington Scoop
- The Wellington City Council has issued a densely-packed document of 27 pages which describes changes to traffic flows and parking which are to be made in preparation for Manners Street becoming two bus lanes. The council invites everyone to study the 27 pages and send “submissions”. But this isn’t a consultation process. The council is seeking only “objections” and the “objection period” closes at the end of next week.

Councilors fail in their effort to save money on the $400,000 waterfront toilets
- Wellington Scoop
- City councilors have failed to persuade the council-owned Wellington Waterfront company to save money by reducing the cost of new public toilets. In November, the councilors instructed the company to explore how to reduce the estimated $400,000 cost of new public toilets on the waterfront at Kumutoto.
