The croquet season has started now so I phoned first, left a message and then on Friday 8 September called in to collect my mallet, ready or not, only to find the business had closed. All the windows have plastic covering over them, no notices on the door to say what is happening, no answer to my phone calls. Does anyone know what is happening to that business and how I can get my croquet mallet back.

If you have family who have been feeling cold in their home through winter, help may be at hand to make their home warm, dry, and healthy.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more homes are eligible for insulation grants. It gets better - there are lots of community organisations offering extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to our website to check their eligibility, today.
