Hi, my mum has 30+ years of experience in sewing and is currently making custom curtains from home. Happy to come in and do measurements ourselves and all you have to do is supply the fabric. She makes sheers and normal curtains. Please PM for quotes if you are interested :)

I've had two in the last couple of months, and one last year, not sure if it's just bad luck but I've never had punctures for over 10 years and now suddenly I get two in the last two months, the latest costing a $200 new tyre and on a car two years old, one was a roofing iron nail the other two nails, not sure if I'm picking up remnants of the demolished old houses being replaced in Waterloo Waiwhetu area, but getting very expensive.

Is Nick Willis the best athlete that Lower Hutt has produced?
The 38 year-old went to Hutt Valley High School and still lists a Hutt running club as his home club.
Where do you rank Willis in terms of Lower Hutt sport? Does he outrank John Reid and Tana Umaga. What about Naomi Shaw?

Low levels of digital literacy among staff is a challenge facing many manufacturing businesses, and strengthening those skills is not only essential to meet rapid technological changes in the workplace, it’s vital to increasing productivity.

Competenz has recently launched a new micro-credential to improve the level of digital literacy in the manufacturing sector.
"With an aging workforce it’s imperative we enable companies to keep their tradesmen and craftsmen,” says Jahn Vannisselroy, Competenz Sector Manager. “This micro-credential, which we can tailor to a specific company, is giving people the confidence to meet technology head-on.”
The qualification is fully funded under the government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) for employers who enrol their staff before 31 December 2022.

"Hi there my name is Poe and I am a great pup looking for my forever home. I have not had the best start to life so would love a home that understands my quirks and is keen to help me through them. A home that has the patience and time to help me be the best companion I know I can be. I am super social so I could go a home with another playful dog that loves having a good tumble. I am not suited to a home with young children so would love a home with teenagers, who are keen to teach me new things and take me on adventures. Puppy school is something I am looking forward with my new family, learning things and making new friends. I do come with a medical waiver that my new home would need to be aware of. If you think you are the home for me please contact the canine team for more information."

If you have memories or photos of past flood events, we can use this information to ensure the finished flood maps are as accurate as possible. Information from the maps will be crucial for improving Lower Hutt’s resilience to future flooding.
Come along to the Petone Library tomorrow between 6pm and 8pm and view the draft maps, learn more about natural hazards and help us to manage their impacts on our city. More information below.
