New bylaw needed?

Rae from Maungaraki

where Council/Developer bylaw or regulation breaches cause hazards such as steep, unretained, tree stripped properties, or infrastructure damage; causing them to slip down or flood onto existing properties, requiring clearing, demolition and/or restoration, that neglect and/or breach of regulations… View morewhere Council/Developer bylaw or regulation breaches cause hazards such as steep, unretained, tree stripped properties, or infrastructure damage; causing them to slip down or flood onto existing properties, requiring clearing, demolition and/or restoration, that neglect and/or breach of regulations should be remedied at the expense of developers/owners; if not the Councils.
As many current properties from hilly suburbs like Korokoro, Maungaraki, Belmont, Harbour View etc will be at risk from new developments that have not met bylaws and/or regulations I think we need a campaign to ensure bylaw protection from both Hutt City Council, Wellington Regional Council and Wellington Water. What do you think?

I am a single mother of 3 children (8, 7 and 5 years old).

My car broke down a week ago and it's not worth the repair. Since this happened suddenly, I have no idea how I will be able to afford a new car. I need some time to research and that's why I came here to find out if anyone has a car parked in the garage so I can take my children to and from school.

Thank you,

Our first exhibition of the year is currently on at the Odlin Gallery until 25 February – And it’s a good one! The Odlin Gallery is 9-11 Myrtle Street, next to Huia Pool, in Lower Hutt. Open daily, 10am to 4pm - free entry. I'm on Gallery minding on Saturday mornings during the exhibition if anyone wants to pop in to say hi, and invest heavily in beautifying your wall, or there is a beautiful selection of professionally hand-crafted cards for around $5 each for the more budget conscious. So, if you are out and about at the pool or visiting the Dowse, put the Odlin Gallery on your itinerary as well.
