Skip bin supply
Dear Neighbours, Are there any of you seeking to hire a skip bin in the near future? Are you by any chance wanting to waste four hours of your time in a futile endeavour to organise a skip bin delivered to your door? Are you a masochist who wants to indulge in four hours of self torture? Look no further then, go straight to Envirowaste website and see what a world class un-user friendly web site looks like. Whatever you do, don't call in to their office in Aotaki St in Otaki, because (nice as the staff were) they can only direct you to the website. Now this isn't only my experience, after trying without success to organise a bin, I explained my difficulty to a client, he is undoubtedly not unintelligent. He gave up in frustration also. This isn't a case of buyer beware, because they won't let you buy. Try Kapiti skips.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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.

OCTOBER'S WEATHER IN KĀPITI
This third spring month in Kāpiti was milder and sunnier than average, and for three weeks we also seemed to be heading for a record dry one, but rain here and over most of the country on the last week changed that.
We ended up with 110mm of rain (airport), but this was only 12mm above the historic average for this month that is frequently our wettest. Despite the rain, we had the equivalent of 15.5 sunny days, slightly above average.
Our daily average maximum temperature was 17.8, almost 0.4C above average and 0.7C above last year, and our overall mean temperature was 14.2C, 1.3C above last year, and the warmest in central New Zealand.
November could average around 20C, as it often does, so we can look forward to the possibility of enjoying our first summer month.
