Lower Hutt St James Cemetery/Library over Graves

Sandra from Normandale

Many years ago I discovered my Great x grandfather John Bell was buried 8 August 1855 in St James Lower Hutt along with his little grandaughter Jane Bell 20 November 1855.
I went to the church only to find that John Bell/baby Jane were NOT on their lists. {fixed]
More research, moving of the church at least 4 times, and as time went by, tarsealed car parking and buildings over graves.
All my research was forwarded to the church office. Now 30 years later I find the whole item has resurfaced.
More of this information arose and is in my book Melling AKA Stillingfleet.
Enclosed photo 1957 Central Hutt and 1860s St James parsonage

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?
