Weekend event road closures

Daniel Melbye from Wellington City Council

With Eminem at Westpac Stadium, The Hollies and John Prine performing, and the hugely popular Newtown Festival happening over the weekend, an estimated 23,000 visitors will be in the coolest little capital in the world!

There will be added congestion on the streets and footpaths, and as safety is paramount, areas in the Courtenay Place precinct will be closed to traffic from 8pm on Saturday 2 March until 4.30am on Sunday 3 March.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

What flowers are blooming in your garden?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours,

In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.

Have you got them in your garden? In fact, we'd love to see what you've got in bloom now. Post a photo and share the joy!
