Meridian planned power outage Bowman Rd 26 October 9:30am - 3:30pm

Catherine from Whatawhata

hi Neighbours


I assume anyone affected will have received it but just in case... we got a text from Meridian saying they were planning a power outage from 9:30am - 3:30pm on 26 October 2018 in the Bowman Road area. I can't see on their website where you can look these things up so no idea how widespread it will be.


Text advises that if there is anyone medically dependent on power to go to backup plan or contact local healthcare provider.


Also relevant for people who are using electric pumps and need to store some water in advance if you don't have an emergency kit...

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Derelict Tokanui Hospital site in line for a clean-up

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
