Harbourview Care Home in Porirua will close next year
Bupa is closing its Porirua rest home facility, Harvourview. It will close next year and the 54 residents will hav to find new accommodation.
The company said it would work with residents to find alternative care homes. Bupa also owns Bupa Crofton Downs and Bupa Whitby.
Those who will need to find new accommodation include 97 year-old Myra Leggett.
Porirua mayor Anita Baker said earlier this week the closure of the care home would be a “huge blow” for Porirua. She said up to 60 jobs could be lost and Porirua residents would have to travel further to see their relatives.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

New World Khandallah parking warning and appeal to nearby business owners
For very valid reasons (local commuters abuse) the New World has allowed the draconian Smartcomply company to police their carpark on their behalf.
Smartcomply will hit you with an $85 'fine' if you stay one second beyond the 60 minutes allowed.
Can I appeal to all nearby business's (especially eateries) to display a clearly visible "ARE YOU PARKED IN THE NEW WORD CARPARK' notice so customers can be warned about the possibility of an unpleasant post dining experience surprise.
A local eatery, and New World itself, could lose future custom due Smartcomply's excessive actions, as is likely our case.
Indeed I would urge any business local to a Smartcomply operation to implement a "ARE YOU PARKED IN ..........." notice if they wanted to avoid a lose in trade.
Here is the link to their Terms and Conditions that all entrants to a carpark under their control are expected to notice and read.
