Meet the candidates for Wharangi/ Onslow Western

Ian from Crofton Downs

We are holding a public meeting to meet the candidates who are standing as a Wellington City Councillor for our ward – Wharangi/ Onslow Western.


The meeting will be held in the Ngaio Town Hall 1 Ottawa Road, from 7.30pm on Friday 30 September. This is a week and a bit before voting closes, hopefully you have some good questions that you want answered before finally casting your vote.



With the STV voting system it is important that you know not only who you want to be elected as a councillor, but how you rank the other candidates also. (Want to know more about STV – follow this link Single Transferable Vote (stv.govt.nz)).

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
