What is this the biggest issue with this election?

The government sent a clear signal that they expected WCC to reengage with businesses in the dismantlement of LGWM. We have, and now we cannot action their feedback as any changes that impact the project business case mean funding must be reviewed.

Officers have just confirmed that WCC is unable to alter the Golden Mile design without putting at risk millions of dollars of government funding and timing for water renewals. That means removing the cycle lane, retaining bus stops etc. are completely off the table.

The Town Hall is the big WCC decision for tomorrow. Today councilors visited the site to see what had been done and get an understanding of where the extra funding is needed.

When candidates really take to social media… #ScottSheeran #nzpol

@SeanDG I wondered what kind of duck it was; thanks!

Only 2 days left to tell @greaterwgtn that the most important Long Term Plan objective is to fix the Wellington Bus Service! Of course, they don't ask about this (it's all climate change & equity) so you'll have to put "FIX THE BUSES" in every comment line haveyoursay.gw.govt.nz/ltp-pre-engage…

Thanks to @nmjyoung and @TeriONeillNZ for attending a meeting I arranged with Steve and Wayne from Oriental Rongotai Rugby Club to talk about their plans for the building.

It's a month of public holidays, with tomorrow 7 April being Good Friday, Monday 10 April being Easter Monday, and Anzac Day coming up on 25 April. That means there will be a few changes to our services to give our staff a well-deserved break. wellington.govt.nz/news-and-event…

Best breakfast this morning. At Nada Tawa celebrating their award winning hot cross buns with Mayor Tory Whanau, @ponekeben & baker Micheal Grey. Their so good and there's still lots of you want some.

@Wellingtoncomm @ponekeben Nada’s hot cross buns are the best I've ever had. Delicious and perfectly spiced. Bought mine @Moore_Wilsons.

Wellington City Council has made its interactive 3-D map of the city public available and it is extremely cool. I highly recommend playing around on it. wcc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/3…
