The next council local body election will be held on Saturday 9 October 2010.

The Kilbirnie – Lyall Bay – Rongotai Resident’s Association invites you to meet the Eastern Ward and Mayoralty Candidates at our public meeting:

When    Saturday, 18 September
between 2.30pm and 5pm

Where:    Kilbirnie Community Centre,   56 Bay Road.

As this election will be conducted by postal vote, this meeting is your chance to let the candidates know your views. They represent you – make them work for you.

The meeting will be divided into two sessions:
- Mayoralty first at 2.30pm followed by
- Eastern Ward at 3.30pm ending maximum 5pm.

Each candidate will have maximum 3 minutes speaking time followed by an open question time from the floor after each segment.

As a resident association we are very interested in your opinions / what you think is good and bad about our area and what we as a association could do to help you.  Please leave a comment  :-)

The proposed increases to public transport fares were considered by Greater Wellington's Transport and Access Committee at its meeting on Tuesday (June 15). For example, a cash fare between Lyall Bay and Wellington city is set to go from $4 to $4.50. The same fare paid for on a Snapper card goes up from $3.20 to $3.28.

A reporter was seeking feedback from us recently on the issue of Boy / Girl racers in our area.  
Thanks for all the emails - these were just a few.
