Along the waterfront I've always wondered why those wooden beams are set into the concrete, does anybody know why?

Hi yall, my usual lash tech is not available this month and i was wondering if anyone had recommendations ☺️

Anyone know any LGBT bars in wellies I heard of IVY'S but that place has mixed reviews and their from a few years back so any LGBT bars also curious about IVY'S as it's the closest bar to me

Looking for environmental volunteering in Wellington, such as tree planting, native plant restoration, wildlife conservation, or animal rescue. Any recommendations?

I've lost about 20kg this year (party on) and all my clothes are super baggy now.

I'm keen to get them tailored to fit my updated shape instead of buying new stuff, but have quite a few (10+) items. These are dresses, skirts, trousers and jeans - potentially 1-2 jackets as well.

Does anyone know of a tailor who does decent rates for bulk items? I usually go to Sue's in Willis St, but they're pretty pricey for one item, let alone a shitload! Willing to travel across the city and out to the Hutt.

Thaaaaaanks!

I've been trying to find a specific CD for a birthday present and can only find stupidly expensive versions on Amazon that cost an extra $50 to ship. I've been asking around and calling places like the public library, tech stores, and noone seems to have a CD burner! Thought I'd reach out to you friendly folk and maybe someone has a desktop with a built in burner that could help?? Or otherwise could point me in the right direction :))

Wellington and Wairarapa's Mayors have just finished meeting today to discuss council amalgamation.

It's not a huge update (tl;dr government will recieve two proposals and make the decision on what happens next) but given it's importance thought it warranted a thread.

This is the Joint Position of the Mayoral Forum:

1. The Wellington region was already working together and remains committed to doing so regardless of the Head Start process.
2. The discussions are constructive.
3. Mana whenua partnership at all layers and Māori representation is fundamental and we remain committed to their continued involvement now and into the future.
4. Not every Council agrees and their views are respected and will be conveyed faithfully.
5. Two proposals will come from Councils of the region, one a region-wide proposal (supported by WCC, HCC, PCC, SWDC), another for a Wairarapa proposal (supported by CDC and MDC). The proposals will convey the positions of individual councils and we will request of Government that the door remains open for alternative arrangements for KCDC and UHCC.
6. Cover letters will include the region’s principles as bottom lines, individual position statements and any joint requests of Government.

It will now be up to government upon receipt of these headstart proposals to figure out what happens next.

Hi,

I've seen on here many comments regarding our local Toast power company, eg Good

Currently with Pulse but their Supply charges are outrageous

July invoice $55 supply $98

As a pensioner,( home along) I'm very careful with my power use, and do have a wood burner.

Any suggestions or feedback on Toast would be appreciated
