Wellington wants to become the nation's Te Reo capital and encouraging street names to be in Te Reo Māori, is part of that push.

Last week Wellington mayor Justin Lester failed to get approval from Wellington city council committee to overturn a recommendation to call a waterfront path Lady Elizabeth Lane rather than Taimona Lane. But he says the battle isn't over.
