We're on the lookout for the most beautiful spots in New Zealand, and would love to hear your favourites.
While it will be impossible to include all of them in one article, we'd appreciate your help in narrowing it down. What do you think are most beautiful places in NZ's regions? Do you have a favourite spot in the Waikato, Taranaki, Canterbury, Southland or elsewhere?
Feel free to comment below, send me a message or email me at lorna.thornber@stuff.co.nz. Please include 'NFP' in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in an article. Thanks in advance for taking the time to share.
With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?

If you receive a Work and Income benefit (including New Zealand Superannuation or Veteran's Pension), you will automatically receive a Winter Energy Payment of about $20-$30 a week, depending on whether you are single, or a couple and whether you have dependent children. It is paid over the winter months from 1 May until 1 October.
If you are finding it difficult to pay your power bills due to financial hardship, talk to your energy provider. For example, they might refer you to a budgeting provider or Work and Income, or work out a payment plan for you. They should only disconnect your power as a last resort.

Broadway will also close to through traffic between Market Street and Auckland Street, but stays open to pedestrians and cyclists.
Once complete the overbridge will create a key connection for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians between the port area and town centre. Please allow yourself a bit of extra time if you are travelling across town. We appreciate your patience.

If you’re unsure of some of these terms, it really won’t help you feel confident in comparing different plans. We don’t want to see our Neighbours get tripped up and stuck with a big bill this chilly season!
So to help you, we’ve put together a list of all the power terminology that you need to know!
