IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR HUTT CITY RESIDENTS
RESIDENTIAL INTENSIFICATION FOR HUTT CITY -
HUTT City Council wants to approve the building of 3 Storey Apartments/Buildings in nine targeted areas in Lower Hutt. Once approved this could be become city wide.
Do you want a 3 Storey Building beside your single storey home one metre from your boundary on three sides of your property. This will cause loss of sunlight, dampness, cold homes, traffic congestion, devaluation of your home, loss of privacy and noise. We are not against intensification of our city with two storey buildings/apartments and granny flats etc, just 3 storey buildings and Councils plans are to have blocks and blocks of them. Areas targeted at the moment are Epuni, Waterloo, Wainuiomata, Alicetown, Waiwhetu/Woburn, Avalon/Park Ave, Naenae, Stokes Valley and Taita.
PLEASE SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, THANKS
RESIDENTIAL INTENSIFICATION PLAN CHANGE 43.
10 METRE BUILDINGS ONE METRE FROM THE BOUNDARY!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

scumbags

Sandra from Waiwhetu

There are some really awful people around at the moment. This is what happened on Sunday.
We live in Hinemoa Street opposite the Waiwhetu Stream. At around 3.40 in the afternoon I was looking out my window and saw a car pull up and start to feed the geese and ducks out the window. Then The passenger an asian man jumped out and threw himself onto a goose. he picked it up and put it the boot of the car.
I immediately ran over and stood in front of his car to stop him moving I also called my husband to help. A lovely man was riding his bike and saw it and stopped to help me. The driver tried to drive into me but I didnt move. He tried telling us it was his pet. These are wild geese.

They had a cage in the boot and some wire all ready to catch the poor bird like they have done it before. My husband took the bird from the car and released it. I then moved out of the way and after lots of abuse from the driver they drove off threatening to come back and get more.
No one should be allowed to take these beautiful birds and certainly not like this. they are all starting to have wee babies at the moment the whole thing was so upsetting to me. Another neighbour further down the road also saw it all happen.
Please keep a look out for this car and if you see them by the stream go over and watch them lets all stop this happening.
