				<language>en-nz</language><item><title>That WCC adopt prepaid rubbish bag stickers to compliment the existing official rubbish bags.</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/109</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/109</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +1300</pubDate><description>A rubbish bag sticker would support WCC's and the Government's 'Reduce, reuse and recycle' initiatives, and reduce plastic entering the Southern Landfill. Official Council rubbish bags are often not filled due to reductions in rubbish and increased recycling. Those using smaller plastic bin liners must use an official rubbish bag, increasing plastic bag use.</description></item><item><title>Continue to allow smoking along Wellington's Golden Mile</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/105</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/105</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +1300</pubDate><description>Smoking is not illegal, nor should it ever be, and as such I have called this e-petition to give a balance point against an e-petition on this site for banning smoking along Wellingtons Golden Mile. I do not smoke, but I support the right of any Kiwi to do so.</description></item><item><title>Support the restoration of Maranui Surf Life Saving Club's iconic building</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/107</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/107</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +1300</pubDate><description>Things are hotting up in the Maranui Surf Life Saving Club debate with the WCC. The Wellington City Council is holding a public meeting on Thursday 22 October at St Catherine's College Hall - 14 Upper Bourke Street, Kilbirnie. The meeting will start at 7.30pm - 9.30pm. It is your chance to come along and voice your opposition to the WCC proposal to demolish all four historic buildings on the waterfront and build a brand new Super Building.  </description></item><item><title>Wellington City Council should provide additional motorcycle parking.</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/101</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/101</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +1300</pubDate><description>Wellington City Council should provide additional motorcycle parking and actively promote Wellington as the motorcycling commuters' capital. This would relieve considerable congestion from commuters bringing their cars into the central business district.</description></item><item><title>A Positive Dog Policy Petition</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/97</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/97</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +1200</pubDate><description>We request that the Dog Policy include:

    * increased off lead access to the Town Belt, Botanic Gardens, beaches, Karori Cemetery, Trelissick and Macalister Parks
    * a presumption that dogs will be under control rather than simply on leash. Ecologically sensitive areas and the City Centre to be on-leash.
    * access to the City Centre 24/7 and for Waitangi Park to be removed as a prohibited area
    * expanded exercise areas that are fenced, with poo bag dispensers and rubbish bins</description></item><item><title>Ban the sale of 300-330ml glass beer and RTD bottles from off-licences in Wellington.</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/98</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/98</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +1200</pubDate><description>I petition Wellington  City Council to pass a bylaw banning the sale of beer and RTD's in glass bottles from off-licences in the city of Wellington. I also submit that the Council uses whatever means at its disposal through its regulation of liquor licensing to affect the same ban.</description></item><item><title>Ban on smoking along the city's "Golden Mile"</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/99</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/99</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +1200</pubDate><description>A proposal to ban smoking along the streets making up the city's Golden Mile - Lambton Quay, Willis Street, Manners Street/Manners Mall and Courtenay Place.  </description></item><item><title>Resolution of traffic pinch-point on Tory St/Courtenay Pl intersection.</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/95</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/95</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +1200</pubDate><description>Change the configuration of the lanes for north-bound traffic on Tory Street where it crosses Courtenay Place. Make the left lane for straight-ahead and left-turning traffic, and the right lane for right-turning traffic only.</description></item><item><title>Downhill traffic via The Rigi</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/94</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/94</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Aug 2009 00:00:00 +1200</pubDate><description>I propose a change to the top of The Rigi to stop people going down it (eg, blocking off the top entrance and making the rest two-way so the residents can drive all the way up) or blocking off the road during the morning peak time.</description></item><item><title>Help reduce food costs for local communities. Plant more food bearing plants in public spaces.</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/93</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/93</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:00:00 +1200</pubDate><description>"Wellington will preserve its parks, trees and open spaces"
Why not help make them even better?
Help put more food bearing trees and plants into our city. 
Help improve our environment.
Help reduce the costs to families by promoting freely available food within our communities now and in the future.
There is no more local food than the food that grows in your own backyard.
Every tree that bears fruit feeds people not just now, but generations into the future.
Help feed the future.

For instance, in the publicity of a visit by a Nobel Peace Prize winner; an activity linked to the statue of Mohandas Ghandi at the Railway Station, ie. The World March For Peace; when the Council marks Hiroshima Day at the Botanical Gardens Peace Flame or for Council celebration of the United Nations annual International Day Of Peace on 21 September.</description></item><item><title>Kennedy Memorial</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/84</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/84</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +1200</pubDate><description>To erect a memorial to the lives (and deaths) of John F Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy on the Wellington Waterfront.</description></item></channel></rss>
