Road closure affecting Bus Stop #5000 & Stop #5002
Due to Courtenay place resurfacing work commencing from Friday 10 January to Saturday 11 January between 7am - 7pm each day. All westbound bus services heading towards Manners Street will need to be diverted via Wakefield Street to Taranaki Street to Manners Street then back on route during this time.
What does this mean for you? The lane heading towards Manners Street on Courtenay Place (from Cambridge Terrace to Taranaki Street) will be closed. Stop #5000 - Courtenay Place - Stop A is now relocated outside the YHA Wellington Backpacker Hostel on Cambridge Terrace. Stop #5002 - Courtenay Place at St James Theatre will be relocated outside the Reading Cinema carpark on Wakefield Street during diversion hours.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
