When I was manning one of the stands at the Newtown Fair earlier this year, we had a petition for Wellington residents to oppose the adoption of water meters and charging for water. I noticed that the campaign has continued today outside the Newtown Mall.
   By the looks of things, today’s campaigners were more successful, filling up more pages of their petition. I know from my experience that there were people both for and against water charging, with the majority against. How do site visitors feel about this issue?
