Suburb Dilemna: Trentham or Wallaceville
Wallaceville Estate reeks of being a new housing area in the Upper Hutt city suburb of .........wait for it..........Wallaceville.
But the Upper Hutt City Council has deemed the area with all its dozens of streets which will house around 2500 people, as being part of the suburb of Trentham which is the largest populated suburb of the city. This is even though the Estate actually fronts onto Ward Street which is part of Wallaceville and one would assume the name of Wallaceville Estate should speak for itself.
Now the argument does not stop there..
NZ Post recognises Wallaceville Estate as being in Wallaceville and subsequently on many online commercial, governmental and other outlets websites will not accept a Wallaceville Estate street address which includes Trentham as the suburb.
NZ Post is a central Government agency. So just who IS correct - Central Govt or Local Govt (re Upper Hutt City Council) and who SHOULD be correct?
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
0% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
0% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
0% ... It is complicated
