Wellington City Council’s swimming pools, libraries, recreation centres and community centres will be closed tomorrow (Thursday) following the Red Wind Warning issued for the lower North Island by MetService..

The closures are for public safety and due to the likelihood that many facilities staff may not safely be able to make it to work tomorrow.

The City Council’s Emergency Operations Centre has been activated.

Please stay away from parks and reserves and areas with tall trees.

Wellington City’s rubbish and recycling collection will go ahead tomorrow in the suburbs where it is scheduled. However, if you don’t need to put your rubbish out, please don’t.
