Everyone who works or owns a business in New Zealand pays levies. Your levy goes towards insuring and protecting your most important assets – you and your people.

Here's Lower Hutt's Town Hall in 1914. The Council leased the building opposite Andrews Ave from 1908. The Town Hall building was damaged in a big earthquake in 1942 and in 1943 they moved into the old Post Office building on the corner of High Street and Laings Road. The current Town Hall building was opened in April 1957. #eventscentreopening

"Five minutes" is a common response to "How long will this take?" Of course, it's almost never an accurate response. It will usually take longer and, as a colonel shouts to his troops in Black Hawk Down, "Nothing takes five minutes!"

Well, that's not true, at least not in relationships. Five minutes is plenty of time for you and your partner to connect on a daily basis, and in a number of ways:
Express physical affection, like kissing, hugging, holding hands, or cuddling
Talk about specific ways in which you appreciate each other Tell your partner one thing you admire about them, and why
Say thanks for the little things you've done that day to support each other
Or, if you're feeling up to it, have a quickie!
Many of us lead busy lives with hectic schedules, but those tiny bits of free time, those five minutes here or there, are great windows of opportunity to connect with your partner, even in small ways.
Here at Greater Wellington we want to know if our community feel we have the balance right around the number of Greater Wellington Councillors that represent our region, and is where they are based an accurate reflection? Your view will help Council plan how we represent our wider region.
