I’m committed to Wellington City rebuilding a serious and professional relationship with central government, regardless of who is in power. I appreciated Local Govt Minister Simon Watts prioritising meeting with me, and we’ve agreed to ongoing engagement to make things better for Wellingtonians 💛

It's been a week since the new Wellington City Council was sworn in and I'm getting stuck in 🔥

Go the Wellington Phoenix FC! And go the Football For All programme that supports children of refugees to join a club and have the necessary gear ⚽️💛🖤 - with Nureddin Abdurahman

Nothing like the local school fair to bring the community together. Each year the Island Bay School fair is the “official start of summer” around here. Head down now and you might even catch a delicious whitebait fritter before they’re gone 🎉

Everyone ok after the jolt?

📣📣📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣📣📣 From tomorrow the temporary fencing around the waterfront is coming down

I’ve appointed @ponekeben.bsky.social as Wellington’s Deputy Mayor for the next 18 months. I know Ben’s going to do a great job working with other Councillors 🏙️🤝

It seems most of us have gotten through the worst of the weather, but there's still disruptions, and care is still needed. Thanks to everyone who heeded the warnings and checked in on vulnerable people in our community, the emergency workers, and the affected businesses 💛

🔴 There's a red wind warning for Wellington. Keep safe, take care, and we'll get through this together. For the latest advice visit 🔗 wremo.nz

I'm not wasting a minute of the countdown to being sworn in as Mayor. Here's my report card on the first week and what's coming next 💥

When you do an honest day’s work the least you should expect is to come home to your family at night. So many Wellingtonians have come out tonight to stand with Anna and Sonya for that principle at the premiere of ‘Pike River’ and I really appreciate it ❤️

I won't be sworn in as Wellington Mayor until the end of the month, but my work to deliver serious leadership and real change at Council is already underway 💛

My election night speech 👂📺💻📱 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv6d...

Thank you for the trust you have placed in me Wellington. I will honour that trust. Wellington faces challenges but together we have the talent, the ideas and the ambition to get our city back to its best. The work starts now ♥️

Throughout my campaign to deliver serious leadership and real change at Council I've been backed by the most incredible team of volunteers. With just under 40 hours until polls close they're still working the phones! There are no words to thank these wonderful Wellingtonians enough. Tautoko ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

The amazing Labour team have been hitting the phones to remind Wellingtonians that voting closes this Saturday. Loving all the kōrero 👂☎️ - with my mates and fellow candidates Afnan Al Rubayee, Joy Gribben and Sam O'Brien

Your mum's gonna growl you if you forget to adult and post your vote today (but it's OK because you can still vote in an orange bin by midday this Saturday) 🔶♥️

Tomorrow (Tuesday 7 October) is the last safe day to post your vote in the Wellington City Council election. There's a safer way to vote, but you must do it by midday this Saturday. Make sure you're heard. Vote 1 Andrew Little for Mayor 🔶♥️

Have you got your rad I've Voted sticker? 👀 Better get to it

#TBTue just because I love doggos so much 🐶❤️

Wellington really is the creative capital 💃🎥🎨 Abbie Wood's 'Dear Wellington' beautifully captures the creativity and chaos of student's lives, present and past (including mine!). Don't miss Abbie's free interactive pop-up over the next couple of days in the Vic Te Aro Campus foyer at 139 Vivian 📸✍️🧑‍🎨

We're NZ's creative capital, but things are tough right now for creative people and industries. That's why I have a plan for practical, cost-effective changes to help reinvigorate arts and culture in Wellington 💃🎨🎶

My twin sister Val and her wife Pat are backing the Rainbow Action Plan like me. Here's why 🌈♥️

1 in 5 young Wellingtonians are part of the LGBTQIA+ communities. I want Wellington to be safe, welcoming and inclusive for everyone, and I'm proud to to support Wellington City Council's Rainbow Action Plan 🌈♥️

Voting papers are being delivered and this election is critical for Wellington's future. Help to start moving our city forward again. Post your vote by 7 October or drop it into an orange bin by midday on Saturday 11 October. Be heard. Vote 1 Andrew Little for Mayor 🗳️1️⃣

To stand up for the Living Wage 👷🏼👩🏾‍💼 Vote 1 Andrew Little for Mayor

Wellington City Council's library assistants do important work and they deserve pay equity. For me it's a basic principle: if a promise is made, it should be kept 📚🍞🌹

Pōtihia #1 Andrew Little hei Koromatua 🪶

C'mon ABs - 2 for 2 (and Up the Wahs (please) too)! 🖤

🗳️ I'm voting to keep Te Whanganui-a-Tara Māori Ward. It's part of my commitment to honouring Te Tiriti ❤️ Awesome day at the St Brigid's Kapa Haka Festival with Labour ward candidate Matthew Reweti

It’s time to reclaim Wellington’s place as the live entertainment capital of New Zealand 💃🏼

Wellington has a proud history as the arts and culture capital of New Zealand. We nurtured Flight of the Conchords, Fat Freddy’s, and Fly My Pretties, and incubated a film industry that amazes the world. It’s time to reclaim Wellington’s place as the live entertainment capital 💃🏼🎨

Making Wellington the place to be is what I'm about. A place to work and be respected and live in dignity.

For Wellington to rebuild its confidence, the public needs to have confidence in the Council 🤝

Wellington! Now's the time for serious leadership and real change at your Council. Voting papers will be in letterboxes soon ♥️

There's a whole lot of signs in Wellington that it's time to vote for serious leadership and real change - and that I have wonderful campaign volunteers 💪🏼

When we get infrastructure right we create the conditions for a city where young people can afford their first home, families don't have to choose between rent and groceries, and businesses can attract talent because people can actually afford to live here 🏗️🧱🪛

It was great vibes and tastes during this stunner of a weekend at Beervana, and it's been brilliant to see town pumping 🍻

It's a sign 🙌🏼

A little thumbs up for the Wellingtonians who packed out the Welsh Dragon tonight for my quiz fundraiser, and for my wonderful campaign volunteers who once again put together a stellar event ♥️ Running a campaign costs, so if you want to help change the council chip in at www.andrewlittle.nz/donate

It's time to say YES to more housing and development in Wellington 🏘️🏡

For far too many people, Wellington simply isn’t an affordable place to live. To turn this around, Wellington needs more homes and a culture of ‘yes’ in the Council that backs development, along with investment in social housing and office conversions 🏡🏘️

I've had a lovely day catching up with Wellington's Pacific aiga. Always a treat ♥️

Revelations of a blowout in the order of $80 million for the Moa Point sludge minimisation plant show the urgent need for stronger oversight of Wellington City Council projects.

A lot of people in Wellington are doing it really tough. I'm committed to a more affordable city (and one of the ways I'll do that is by capping public transport fares). A huge shout out to the volunteers at Kaibosh Food Rescue 🍎🍞

Kaibosh Food Rescue do great work - connecting the food industry with community groups that support people in need, benefiting the people and the environment. I popped in to volunteer 🍏♥️
