Jon Roberts was area manager at the time when emails were exchanged with Police report issues I was having with another HNZC tenant. Stephen Wilson took over from Jon and when I received my files all the Police complaints were missing. I went through the privacy commission and a few more files turned up. Stephen Blamed Jon Roberts for deleting them. HNZC go out of their way to ignore you, don't listen and never get back to you. Another good friend in Petone is having the same issues. I believe their are many many more tenants getting a raw deal. I urge to email the Hutt News with your story of news with your story as this problem is wide spread. (Christchurch HNZC office just in the news) I would like to organize and mass protest meeting in Margaret Street to demand a much better service. A better attitude and a call for more honestly from HNZC staff as it's part of our tenancy agreement with them and it's their job is to look out for those whoes who are suffering at the hands of bloody horrible neighbors.
I am contacting the Hutt News and hopefully if therequired is enough of us willing to meet in Margaret Street we can get Phil Twyford back here after all he promised great at all the housing meetings he held pretty election. From experience Chris Bishop was useless and did more damage than good in my case. If we combine our frustration we can affect change and hopefully see of the dishonest staff moved on. Contact me if you need to and I will be happy to arrange a protest gathering. Cheers. STEVE. Just because we are fortunate to have a HNZC house dose not mean we have to put up with the crap that this office dishes up.

The four cities have been under a sprinkler ban that was introduced at the end of a particularly dry November.
Thanks to the response from the community, and in spite of a record hot January, the region’s storage lakes are now in good shape to last for the remainder of summer.
This means restrictions can now be eased to allow for the limited use of garden sprinklers and irrigation systems.
This is a good position to be in, but it’s important that people keep being responsible with water usage.
Sprinklers are actually a relatively wasteful way to water plants, and their use is limited by the garden watering restrictions still in place.
These allow the use of a single sprinkler or irrigation system, between the hours of 6-8 am and 7-9pm only on alternate days according to your house number.
Sprinkler use permitted at:
- odd-numbered houses on odd dates (1st, 3rd, 15th etc)
- even-numbered houses on even dates (2nd, 4th, 18th etc)
only between the hours of 6-8am and 7-9pm.
This restriction level will remain in place until further notice, or the end of Daylight Savings (1 April 2018) – except in Upper Hutt, where this restriction remains in place all year round.
We’d also like to remind people that the easing of restrictions is a good time to check and refill any emergency water storage containers, or to install an emergency tank if you don’t have one yet.
Tips for good watering practice:
- Use a trigger or wand to ensure water goes only where it’s needed
- Concentrate watering on the roots of plants not the leaves
- Use mulch to keep moisture in and weeds out
