Mayoral hopeful Cela Wade-Brown launching her campaign in early July

The local body election season is upon us, with postal voting on who we would like to represent us on the Wellington City Council, the Greater Wellington Regional Council and the Capital Coast DHB due to commence in mid-September.

As usual, the Mt Victoria Residents Association and Mt Cook Mobilised are convening a joint community event for local residents to meet and question the candidates. This year there will be two meetings, both held at the Crossways Community Centre in Roxburgh Street:

Local Ward candidates meeting on Tuesday 14 September at 7:30pm
Mayoral candidates meeting on Thursday 16 September at 7:30pm

Everyone is welcome and refreshments will be provided. If past experience is anything to go by, these will be entertaining evenings with plenty of debate and banter and witty exchanges, so mark your diaries now!
