The Quality of Life survey, made public today, asked residents in 12 cities to rank their lives in areas including health, crime and safety, and public transport. Wellington came out on top, with just under 95 per cent of Wellingtonians ranking theirs as either extremely good or good, making Wellington the No 1 city. The survey reports Wellingtonians believe it is generally a safe place to live. The city topped the list for people feeling safe after nightfall while in their homes, visiting the city centre, and walking in their neighbourhood.
Meeting minutes for Monday 23rd February 2009 at WCC Community room 1, 6pm.
Present: Celia Wade-Brown, Lily Linton, Andrew Wilks, Paula Warren, Zamm Zamudio, Robert Davies, Jane Kennedy, Brent Efford, Jemma Diedrichs, Mike Mellor, Janet Lawson
