Is it OK for cafes to turn away mums with prams?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Hi neighbours,

Both coffee and controversy is brewing in wider Wellington region at the moment on the topic of prams in cafes.

A cafe in Petone doesn't allow buggies and prams in the cafe when two designated areas up front by the window are full. This is due to space and safety reasons. However, some mums have hit out saying it isn't "child friendly". Other cafes have now chimed into the debate. We want to know your thoughts on the topic.

Are you a mum with a pram that's been turned away from a cafe? Or perhaps you're a business owner that struggles to fit prams on the premise. Perhaps you're a customer with an opinion to share. Let us know your thoughts in the replies! (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff)

Have you noticed this in your neighbourhood?

The yellow sludge found on water surfaces or lining shores are also signs that pollen is being spread by wind. They produce enormous quantities of light, dry pollen grains that are carried on Wellington’s boisterous spring winds.

Only a small amount of this pollen hits the spot on plants. The majority goes to waste and this is what can be seen forming clumps and foamy slime around water or the fine yellow dust you might be seeing on your clean car or laundry. It can be alarming but it’s perfectly normal.

People mistakenly think pollen deposits are pollution and report them to Greater Wellington’s Pollution Hotline, which shows people care about their environment and have a sharp eye for pollution. Greater Wellington wants to hear from people when they think there might be a pollution problem, even when that turns out not to be the case.

If people suspect pollution they should call Greater Wellington Regional Council's Hotline on 0800 496 734. It's a confidential 24-hour service. Contact details will be requested so that staff can gather more information if needed.
