Bye Bambuchisan ....we will miss you

I've been jn #Melrose in #easternsuburbs so much recently what a special corner of our city... How can we make it even better and support our communities there?
The bridge between the east and the south with so much to offer..

In other news, up at dawn for the tōhi tāngaengae for our beautiful brought back to life central library Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui. You are going to love it! In front of the amazing Darcy Nicholas rawa, with some of my fave colleagues Laurie Foon, John Apanowicz and @geordierogers.co.nz

It's not a coincidence that our bus patronage numbers are hitting all time highs. This term we've delivered more bus lanes than the seven previous councils combined

Hataitai is a special village full of history, green spaces & community spirit. I’ve been hearing your concerns: buses, crossings, beach, leaks but there is lots of good to celebrate too.What’s top of your list for Hataitai?

We don't have big budgets to make signs, or big billboards or lots of donors to make things flashy. So, my daughter offered to help me make some signs for each suburb so when we visit or post we have a reference. Using up my old frankie magazines & cardboard boxes to make something pretty & useful.

"It's great to see so many connected cycleways. We could do with more." - @trishgiven.bsky.social candidate for WCC in the Motukairangi / Eastern ward

Zohran Mamdani says as mayor he would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if he traveled to New York

When I first decided to run for Council my daughter asked how she could help
She made me these colourful signs for Motukairangi they’ve been the best at events, helping spark conversations about what matters in each community.

Spent an amazing evening with womenofponeke.org.nz - One take away from the evening "Poneke needs more kindness: more kindness for those who have fallen on hard times, more kindness for differences of opinion and expression, more kindness for cultural diversity" #womenofponeke

I’m running for Wellington City Council, Motukairangi / Eastern Ward – as an independent! 💚 I love this community and believe in its power to shape a people-focused, future-ready city. Let’s build something bold, inclusive, and lasting. #LocalElections25 #Given1 #OneGiven #1MsGiven
