A New History for an Old Connecticut Village
Yes, Guilford in 1650! Go back in time and meet William Leete, John Smith, and Abagail Greene as Guilford becomes center of trade and commerce for the New Haven and Connecticut Colonies: Dudley Farms, Thomas Nash clocks, Norwich cheddar and blue cheese, thousands of oak barrel staves sold to Barbados, only to return as barrels filled with molasses or prized rum, for export to Massachusetts and England. A wonderfully crafted romance set in early colonial times by author Michael Rumbin, Abigail Greene, Quin nit ti cut 1637 is set during the Pequot War, enslavement and genocide of the Pequot nation.
The regional council will split the cost with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to provide additional funding of $1.85 million per year to allow bus operators to top up all driver wages to at least the living wage. A total of 318 drivers, or more than half of bus drivers in the Wellington region, are currently being paid a base rate less than the living wage. “That seems to me to be basically unfair. When we think about the job of a bus driver, it’s a hard job, it’s a skilful job, it has high accountability for public safety. It’s unfair at the moment that half of our bus drivers are not on the living wage,” regional councillor Roger Blakeley said.

Speaking to their submission on Wellington International Airport Ltd’s expansion proposal, Councillors Thomas Nash and Roger Blakeley are calling on the airport to support Wellington’s climate goals and include public and active transport in any plans it makes for the future.
Roger Blakeley, chair of Greater Wellington’s Transport Committee said “Shifting to bus and train travel reduces our emissions as a region and as a city and it’s critical that we build public transport into all our plans for infrastructure and development, including at the airport.”
