Extra buses on some routes

Metlink

On certain routes around the city, peak periods have seen full buses. That’s why we’ve introduced extra buses. If you see two buses roll up on the same route one after the other, you’re not seeing double, you’re seeing an extra bus making sure you can get to where you’re going. Find out what else we’re doing

Do you want electric scooters in the capital?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Are you keen to try out Lime scooters in your city? Because Wellington is next on the list to receive them - potentially just in time for summer!

Hi neighbours,

Are you keen to try out Lime scooters in your city? Because Wellington is next on the list to receive them - potentially just in time for summer!

The scooters have already been launched in Auckland and Christchurch, and now Lime are in talks with Wellington City Council.

Some people are in support of the scooters, others have found a way to make extra pocket money from them, and even singer Taylor Swift was apparently spotted on one in Auckland recently. But the scooters have also caused controversy as one model has already been recalled.

So what are your thoughts on the scooters? Do think they'd be a great way to zip along the Wellington streets? Or are they an accident waiting to happen? Share your thoughts with us in the replies below!

Keen in getting your kitchen knives sharpen? Marcus can help

CK from Johnsonville

Even since my first posting 40 days ago, my autistic son, Marcus, had made many Neigbourly members very happy by giving their old kitchen knife a new sharp edge. His autistic nature is also his strength. He is anal in wanting to get it right. All the knives have to pass the "carrot" test.… View moreEven since my first posting 40 days ago, my autistic son, Marcus, had made many Neigbourly members very happy by giving their old kitchen knife a new sharp edge. His autistic nature is also his strength. He is anal in wanting to get it right. All the knives have to pass the "carrot" test.

If your knife is chipped or you have over use your only favourite knife until there is no bevel left, it is time to get it sharpen. See below the two knives - one is chipped and one has no bevel left.

The prices are below the market rate as we just want Marcus to enjoy doing what he does and also to meet the community. The money he earns will be another step for us to help him understand to manage his funds when he eventually gets a job.

$5 knife
$7 cleaver

Please PM me if you would like Marcus to sharpen your knives.
