Once they’re established, it’s almost impossible to remove them and the pests can squeeze the life out of our most precious rivers and lakes. We all need to do our bit to protect waterways by always checking, cleaning, then drying any equipment that comes into contact with the water, between every waterway, every time.

He was one of the great characters and loved to have a chat. He would often be seen at car shows at Trentham Memorial Park and was a regular visitor at the Hutt News.
He enjoyed raising money for Wellington Free Ambulance and was also a keen bowler. Melby died in May aged 96.
Wellington Police have advised that missing 17 year-old Caley has been found safe and well. Thank you to the community for all your help.

The number of mult-unit housing developments in Lower Hutt is soaring.
Large sections or pockets lands are being turned into terraced housing and infill housing.
Multi-unit developments in Lower Hutt are now being routinely snapped up off the plans within hours of being listed. Peter Roberts and Makayla Patel (pictured) purchased their house of the plan last year, after finding they could not get a stand-alone home.

On Monday, Labour MP for Hutt South Ginny Andersen, National list MP Chris Bishop, Lower Hutt mayor Campbell Barry and councillor Deborah Hislop wrote a joint letter to the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) asking it to step in and fund the Airport Flyer bus, so it can continue running to and from the Hutt.
The call comes after Wellington Airport confirmed plans to axe the Wellington-Lower Hutt leg of the route when Tranzit begins operating the service in early 2021 because it was no longer commercially viable.
But GWRC chairman Daran Ponter hit back saying the reality was that many services ran with “zero or one or two passengers”.
“What the MPs and the mayor are saying is that ratepayers should pay for a service that was very poorly used between the Hutt Valley and the Railway Station.”

Hi neighbours, we're keen to talk to people who live near a busy railway line - commuter or freight - about the pros and cons of the location.
What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?
Was your house cheaper than others in the area?

What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?
Was your house cheaper than others in the area?
Is the easy access to transport the reason you bought there?
If you can answer any of those questions, we'd love to hear from you. Please leave a comment or email homed@stuff.co.nz with your name and details. Have a great day!
