Petone wharf etc
Sent a version of this to Council, no response apart from the usual "we have recieeved your email"
We could add the community centre reproof as another numpty idea.
Further to recent article re the demolition of the Petone beach wharf affecting the aquifer water underneath when the piles are removed. Easy solution, just cut each pile off at their seabed level !! The article says some piles are already affected by their rotting, so by just cutting them off will let nature take its course, as they rot the hole will fill naturally over time, I suggest many years. Obviously this will result in huge cost savings as opposed to uplifting the piles (and surrounding concrete?) while taking care not to disrupt the aquifer.
Along with cancelling this, and hopefully numpty idea of renaming Petone, will give more funding to far more important issues such as repairing the water supply leaks so we dont run short this and future summers.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

Documenting the RiverLink Project around Melling, Pharazyn St and Marsden St
Kia Ora, Neighbours. For the last couple of years I've been documenting with my camera the changes in my area around the extensive work going on with the RiverLink project (Melling Interchange/New Melling Bridge/New Melling Railway Station/ Melling Station walk bridge / Clearance of Pharazyn St and Marsden St and Stop bank work).
I pass no judgements on the work. My photos simply record what's happening.
Early blog posts are photo essays of the the demolition of Pharazyn St and Marsden St residential and industrial properties. Later photos are the more up to date records happening right now.
I'd welcome your feedback, especially with better information about what's happening, as there seems to be a number of sites specialising in their own work but not a comprehensive coordinated site with details and links.
Here's the link. Enjoy. www.riverlinkphotos.blogspot.com...
