The Council elections are coming up in October.  Newtown Residents’ Association is planning to hold a local meeting of candidates for the Council elections on Wednesday 4 September in St Anne’s Parish Hall, at the end of Emmett St.   St Anne’s Parish will be putting on supper at the end of the meeting.

Thanks to Peter Frater for picking up the job of organising this Residents’ Association / St Anne’s co-production .  Mark your calendar now for a lively evening out!

In addition we thought it would be fun, and useful, to flush out what the candidates think about the issues that Newtown locals care about.  We thought we would ask all the local candidates to answer a questionnaire for us and pre circulate their answers.  So we want you to tell us what issues you want to hear about.  Drop us a line to newtownwellington@gmail.com with ELECTION QUESTIONS in the title line and we will start building up the collection……..
