Nurse Russell Maternity hospital 38 Knights Rd L.Hutt

Sandra from Normandale

Matron and Nurse Mildred Sarah Russell opened 38 Knights Rd LHutt as a private maternity home 1923-1944 when she retired.
Her own son Kevin James Russell was born there 1925.
Her sister Lottie May ie Mrs Fred Corn Humphrey worked here too.

Am interested in further history of this building and the people involved. Photo of Nurse M S Russell and 38 Knights Road Hospital with Matron Mildred in her whites at the step.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
