Hi neighbours,
I'm looking for someone to clear gutters of plant growth / rubbish from a 2 story property, therefore large extension ladder and appropriate safety gear would be required. If you are this someone or know of 'a' someone that would be interested please contact me here or on 021 734 174.
There is also garden tidy up to do on the property so ideally you were capable of doing both, however, if not, most appreciated if you got in touch anyway.

Cheers,

Hi neighbours,

What's the traffic like in your city? The good, the bad, and the ugly of the Wellington region's transport has been laid bare in a council report, which will be presented to the region's mayors this week.

The report found that traffic entering Wellington during the morning peak was travelling at an average speed of 35.4kmh, while evening traffic heading out was hitting 39.7kmh. That's the slowest recorded speed since 2014! To read more about this, click here.

So what's your work commute like? Do you have an issue with congestion, the safety of roading, and rising diesel sales in your city? Share your thoughts with us in the replies below. (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/ comments used on Stuff)
