Massive new mural in Masterton! Check it out, it's almost finished.
A huge Kokomai Mural is going up in Masterton this week in Bannister Street at the back of Warehouse Stationery.
Artist Gina Kiel said:
"My piece is inspired by the original name of the central Masterton - Whakaoriori - After learning about this I was immediately inspired, as a mother, I myself
have sat with my baby and listened to the birds while singing him to sleep. I feel a great sense of calm every time I visit the Wairarapa, I have visited with
my son many times and I feel honoured to create art here in this central area of Masterton which has much meaning."
Local students were also down on site having a workshop in “graffiti art”
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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
Builder Wanted or seeking builder (LBP).
We are looking for a semi-retired builder or solo LBP to supervise / co-work with me while I undertake an extension project as a self-build . Rates to be negotiated prior to commencement. Currently in the design stage at present with Architect. I have experience from past house builds so not a raw beginner, both in design and construction.
