lets talk water 2
Serious question time :- also potential trigger alert ....
Water Services - all councils:-
We the community have paid in good faith, the value the officials have set for the cost to provide and maintain the services. There are specific lines in the rates invoices and information provided by said councils to state as such.
When a service provider is paid for a service are we not entitled to have that service provided? - if it was a cleaner for your home? a mechanic for your car? or the accountant for your business? if you have paid you have a right to that service being delivered as advertised - agreed??
If that service is not delivered - we also have rights to have the issues rectified or the full services delivered at no further cost - agreed? There are usually rules around this for all businesses and operations.
Why should our councils be exempt from any culpability in the failure to provide the services they have offered, charged for, and have been paid to provide?
Collectively we the public are the employer of the councils and pay for the services they advise they can provide.
If we the aggrieved in these transactions actually band together - would we not have more collective power to enforce such actions required to ensure the power to get these services actioned and done as per what we have all collectively paid for?
I suggest we all duly keep paying the rates invoices as set - MINUS anything to do with the water part - reset any auto payments and deduct anything stated as gwrc or water services - until such time as our collective councils have enacted the services they have been already paid for to provide.
And yes there is a "fix" to some of the issues all will say is that WW cant get around the leaks fast enough - so the suggestion is to subcontract to the local plumbing firms who have the capability to do the work - remove a huge bunch of red tape around that process and get people out fixing pipes - if WW obviously does not have the capacity - the councils need to get other contractors in.
WW is only another arm of our collective councils - whole sale owned by our 6 council orgs in the Wgtn region and paid profits to exist. Let some local businesses get some work and get the job done!
Collectively we have the power to ensure our councils behave in the manner in which they were voted to be there.
Lost dogs
I'm so sick of seeing stray dogs no collars,under fed, just like the one I saw running past me while I was waiting for the bus, poor fella Before u get a dog, do your research owning a dog is a big responsibility
They depend on us
Is your house fenced
Does your landlord know u have a pet? Don't forget vet bills
And a comfortable place to sleep hopefully inside..
Don't forget good nutritious food,and daily walks,just remember check foot path on hot days by placing your hand or bare foot on it to see if too hot for your doggies paws, best early in the morning or late in afternoon when temperature is cooler..OK im not saying I'm the best owner my girl was left home alone while I was at work even though I took her for long walks in the morning..sensitive subject If u have to put your precious fur baby to rest because of horrible uncurable
Illness have the vet come to your home don't do it at a vet clinic that is the place stresses them out..
My girl had cancer
And the vet wanted to put to sleep in the clinic he made up every excuse, but I rang around and found wonderful vet in waterloo, they were so kind and we agreed on a day..
Cost $370..
My girl was not stressed at all she was chilled out on her couch watching TV, she was clueless
She thought vet were there to visit Lol it was quick my girl fell asleep went back to Our creator in heaven
So guys please do your research before u get a dog😁

Tap Fusion opens Wellington Fringe Festival
New Zealand’s home-grown Tap Dance show, Tap Fusion, will be opening the Wellington Fringe Festival at the Hannah Theatre this weekend. The show is a unique collaboration of New Zealand’s top Tap dancers performing alongside artists of Street Dance, Swing Dance and live musicians. This will be the first time a Tap show has been seen at the Fringe Festival.
Tap Fusion is the work of former New Zealand Dance Champion brothers Brandon and Cameron Carter-Chan. They say the show is designed to expose the diversity of New Zealand artists through Tap Dance by inspiring, uplifting, and promoting the idea of creative collaboration, encouraging people to work with artists outside their social circle, and to increase opportunity and strengthen the arts community as a whole.
Tap Fusion is on at The Hannah Theatre, 12 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington on 13th & 14th February.
