Last night I issued my first Mayoral Citation, the highest honour I can award a resident, to Dr Ashley Bloomfield. I can think of no one more deserving. I'd also like to acknowledge the service of our health pros and public servants who have been integral to our response.

I trust those who have contacted me with outrage re the cost of correcting the historic misspelling of Petone to Pito-one will share the same outrage with the incoming government’s, far more expensive, requirement to change all departments that have a te reo name to english.
