Meet Gabe, who is deaf but sounds like a lot of fun.

"I was transferred from Porirua Animal Control. I am a special dude who has had an unusual start to my rehoming journey. I am completely deaf but that doesn't stop me having a great time! I am a loveable boy who has stolen the hearts of everyone at the centre. I am looking for an experienced owner, who has a suitable property for me to thrive in. I'm always up for a walk or a game to play, and I love to find things to do and keep active. I am looking for a home with teenagers or adults, and a home without cats or small animals. I am happy to play with other active dogs, and love to be social with both people and dogs. If you are interested in me and my goofy personality - chat to the canine team."

Would you support lowering the speed limit near Belmont?
Simon Edwards​ dreads hearing the sound of accidents on State Highway Two.
The Hutt City councillor lives a few hundred metres from the Grounsell Cres​ intersection where a pedestrian was killed on Tuesday evening.
Preparing to go to bed, he heard a “loud thud” and assumed it was two cars colliding.
Instead, it was a car hitting a pedestrian crossing the intersection, which is controlled by lights.
The council is reviewing transport in the city. Edwards had asked council engineers for advice on how the intersection could be improved and if speed cameras could be installed at the lights.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is planning to consult locals on reducing the speed.

Poll: What is your priority for council?

Lower Hutt residents are divided over whether repairs to the earthquake-damaged Petone Wharf should be fast-tracked, but there appears to be strong support in the community for the rebuilding of Naenae pool.
That was the result of submissions made to the council's long term
draft long term plan. The council has proposed increasing rates by an average of 5.9 per cent next year so it can move forward with an ambitious plan to boost spending on infrastructure.
The council has suggested spending up to $68 million on a full upgrade of the quake-prone Naenae pool and another $20m over the next three years on refurbishing and strengthening the Petone Wharf.
Tell us what you think.

Every Friday morning dozens of people who suffer from strokes, Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions fill up a Porirua dance hall to dosey doe, salsa, and disco dance.
But they are not just there for fun, but to improve their brains.
Dancing has so many beneficial effects on the brain that it is now being used to treat people with Parkinson’s disease, which affects about 1 in 500 Kiwis.
“Motion is lotion, getting people moving is really important,” dance leader and physiotherapist Rachel Horwell​ said.
