Previous Polls
To make the Wellington Web more interactive, I've introduced polls for you to vote on. The latest poll will be on the home page, and this section of the site will contain previous results. Any suggestion for new polls can be e-mailed to me and I'll add them next time. Each poll runs for about 3-4 weeks.
