Featherston Community Garden
We had an enthusiastic group of about twelve at our meeting regarding a sustainable community garden in Featherston. We agreed we'd ask the Community Board to consider allowing our group to kickstart an initial garden on the vacant site. The plants would be in containers (possible low-side skips) to enable them to be moved. We think Featherston needs something showy to attract attention on the Main Street and the try to position us as the sustainable (no-spray) growers centre of the South Wairarapa. The idea would be to start here, then to expand to allotment gardens for interested people in the community. We'll be putting these ideas forward at the Community Pot Luck on Sunday at Anzac Hall, 2-4 PM. Please come and add your support!
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?
-
59.7% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... 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.
Thanks Phil
