Seek regular healthcare

The team from Hutt City Council

While there's one disease on everyone's mind right now, that doesn't mean you still can't get sick or injured other ways. That's why it's important to talk to a health professional if you aren't well, even during lockdown.

While there's one disease on everyone's mind right now, that doesn't mean you still can't get sick or injured other ways. That's why it's important to talk to a health professional if you aren't well, even during lockdown.

The way these services operate might be a little different than normal - for example your GP might be talking to you over the phone rather than seeing you in person, but they are still there to help if you require medical advice. So don't delay in seeking healthcare.

It's a jungle out there

The Team from Wellington Water

Bingo! Drainage Serviceman Brent locates the head of a blocked wastewater main in Southgate with his metal detector.

Bingo! Drainage Serviceman Brent locates the head of a blocked wastewater main in Southgate with his metal detector.

The search started on CCTV when the team found tree roots blocking the main. After locating and uncovering the buried head, they got stuck in and cleared out the pipe with a hand-tool, as they were more than 50m ‘off road’ and their flushing truck was out of range.

Stay safe everyone. It’s a jungle out there!

Artisian WATER Petone, Lower Hutt etc.

Nina from Pinehaven

I don't see any reasonable reason WHY the council closed our precious water supply and now we have even to buy water. Has anybody the same experience and has some ideas how to deal with the council.

Can you help us help our frontline this Easter?

ShieldsUp

ShieldsUp is a volunteer driven initiative of over 500 Kiwis, 3D printing, manufacturing and distributing face shields to our medical and emergency heroes across the country facing Covid-19 head on.

ShieldsUp is a volunteer driven initiative of over 500 Kiwis, 3D printing, manufacturing and distributing face shields to our medical and emergency heroes across the country facing Covid-19 head on.

Within two weeks, we have delivered over 5,000 face shields, but we are still hearing the calls of many. As the government and DHB’s publicly assure us that all necessary equipment is readily accessible, the demand for our face shields continues to grow daily, with requests for 30,000 shields.

If you would like to help us help them, sign up to volunteer at shieldsup.org.nz, or make a donation to ensure we can continue to produce and distribute our shields to protect our frontline heroes.

ShieldsUp, offering protection to Kiwi’s against COVID-19.

Looks like the message about glass-only recycling is having a hard time getting around.

Grace from Hutt City Council

Only 20-30% of households are putting out glass-only crates. So we need your help!

Please share this post with 5-10 people you know in Lower Hutt. Not just on Neighbourly, txt or call them too. It's also a good opportunity to reach out, ask how they're doing. Then ask them to do the … View more

Please share this post with 5-10 people you know in Lower Hutt. Not just on Neighbourly, txt or call them too. It's also a good opportunity to reach out, ask how they're doing. Then ask them to do the same.
Your rubbish will be collected as normal, but please only put glass in your recycling crate for now.

All other recyclables either reuse or put into the rubbish.

Our contractors are using whatever fleet vehicles are available for glass-only pickup, so you will see trucks collecting that you'd normally see for rubbish only. Be assured, if you put out glass-only in your crate it is being sent for recycling.
