Tiny homes manufacturer rallying the troops for a hikoi to the steps of Parliament

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

A convoy of mobile homes is set to hit the streets of Wellington to call for urgent government legislation for tiny homes.

North Canterbury-based fabricator Colin Wightman has supported several tiny home owners who have had to go before the courts, and is now heading a hikoi to the steps of Parliament.

He said it was necessary to take such extreme action because people's health and wellbeing was being affected by over-zealous councils, with no solutions coming from the Government or the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
