Winter Woolly Bird Count 2022

Hutt City Council

The Winter Woolly Bird Count 2022 is on this Saturday from 10am-4pm!

Don your winter woollies, grab your binoculars, and invite your friends and family for an afternoon of scavenger hunting to find lots of unique yarn birds, created by Wonky Stitches NZ, hidden all around the Lower Hutt city centre! Don’t forget to register your participation at Wonky Stitches NZ and you can pick up a copy of the map at the War Memorial Library on Saturday!

There will also be a Crochet Workshop running during the Bird Count at War Memorial Library with a koha donation entry. The proceeds from this will be going to Wellington Harbour Little Blue Penguin Study (Penguin People). This event is sponsored by About Space Hutt City, a programme that places active and creative projects in vacant spaces, to add vibrancy to the city.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.
