TMP is virtually a bird sanctuary with its twin areas of native forests and any fireworks especially in the nesting season, is greatly damaging towards birds. Of course the commotion of the fireworks is simply terrifying to birds. So TMP is not the place for this kind of event.
So let's make the UHCC well aware of this as if they are not already but choose to turn a blind eye - or deaf ear.
We invited a member of the Neighbourly team to give an electric car a go for a couple of weeks. Find out what Sarah learnt about city living with an 'EV' and what our plans are for our staff fleet over the next few months!

This isn’t just a name change, this is the creation of a whole new organisation bringing career and volunteer, urban and rural firefighters into one organisation. This is the biggest re-organisation for our Fire Service, since the Fire Service Act was introduced in 1975.
For our Lower Hutt communities however, there will be no noticeable change. If you or your neighbours have a fire or other related emergency, you still only need to dial 111 and ask for Fire, to have Fire Fighters respond to the emergency. For us as Fire Fighters, when an emergency call for help is received, we will respond.
As Fire and Emergency New Zealand beds in, more visible changes will become apparent. Changes such as uniform emblems and identifying graphics on our Fire Appliances, Fire Stations, and published material will change over time.
As always, if you’re looking for non-urgent fire-related information in Lower Hutt, your local Fire Fighters can be contacted through Neighbourly or by calling you’re local Fire Station.
But if the worst should happen in your home…
Get out and stay out
In a fire, get everybody out and call 111.
And whatever you do, stay out.
