News from Wellington City Council The Wellington City Council is reviewing the policies that set the framework for managing trading and event activities in public places – and is inviting the public to have their say. Currently there are two policies that govern these activities and the Council is proposing to integrate both into one Trading and Events in Public Places Policy. The new combined draft policy will be much broader in scope and set out the rules and guidance on how activities on all public spaces are managed. Mayor Andy Foster says: “Our public places are important – we use them to live, work and play, and while we want them to be lively and vibrant, we want them to be safe for everyone too.
