Build the Path

Rebecca from Carterton District

This isn't about South Wairarapa, but please read on, as it is important, and will be an asset to us all.

New Zealand Transport Authority is planning on a new route from Ashhurst to Woodville now that the Gorge is deems to unsafe. We have been given till THURSDAY AT 4PM to have submissions in to include a walkway/cycleway/horse bridal path to be added during original construction. It makes so much sense to build it during the initial construction phase and it opens up fabulous country for recreational pursuits, a facility sorely needed in this region.

I am asking you to PLEASE click on the link below and make a submission. Even if you don't visit this area now, it will be there for generations to come. It is a fabulous opportunity to create a versitile recreational asset.

Please act on this now.

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?

Builder Wanted or seeking builder (LBP).

Phil from Carterton District

We are looking for a semi-retired builder or solo LBP to supervise / co-work with me while I undertake an extension project as a self-build . Rates to be negotiated prior to commencement. Currently in the design stage at present with Architect. I have experience from past house builds so not a raw beginner, both in design and construction.
Thanks Phil
