Special Villa #1
SPECIAL VILLA: 7 King Edward Pde, Devonport. ( I hope you don't find this story boring!)
My maternal great grandfather, Oliver Mays, arrived in NZ from Leicester on November 21, 1858. His wife and daughter arrived in 1860 and they lived at 7 King Edward Parade. The B&W photo was taken some time in the 1920s, the other photo I took in March 2011.
Apart from being headmaster at what is now Devonport School he contributed greatly to Devonport but the list of his contributions is too long to copy. The photos are of the first Mays family home in NZ. (2 other Mays homes built by Oliver's sons to follow.)
In the second photo the house (on the right) had been moved forward to make room for an apartment at the back.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated
