Following the severe weather this week, our teams have been working to clear fallen trees across the city. Parks have now been made safe, and clean-up efforts will resume on Monday.
Check when you need to put your rubbish and recycling out over the holidays and find out about opening hours at libraries and other Council facilities.

My principal place of residence is in the Te Hirawanui General Ward area.
I have lived in the city for 25 years. I have worked as a Broadcaster Radio 2ZA, Newstalk ZB and Classic Hits. I have been a musician in several Bands & currently for Medlab at the Palms Commentator Robertson Prestige International Speedway (PN). I am standing for council because I want the city to progress and focus on the big four, Roads, Water, Rubbish & Sewerage. Stick to the basics and live within our means. I know many who are concerned about rate rises. The Council should be run like a household - with fiscal prudence and wise investment. If elected my focus will be on needs not wishes and every dollar would be studied before spending takes place. Fiscal prudence & common sense - that often appears not to be too common. I respectfully ask for your vote.
