Wellington Post Office Contested at Civic Meeting
A Wellington committee debated funding a new post office seeking either council approval for repairs or acceptance of £1200 from the government. Members argued over expansion, with Brown and Crouch opposing more government expenditure and urging practical repairs to the existing building. The motion to proceed with additions failed as supporters split, and the committee ultimately backed accepting the government offer.
