Porirua police on the move

Reporter Community News

Porirua-based police will soon be moving into new premises situated at 19 Heriot Drive Porirua.
Kapiti Mana
Area Commander Inspector Tracey Thompson said the
old Hagley Street station has served the community well since the 1960s, but it is time for a modern station which enables a better service to be delivered to our local community.

Staff will move into the new hub over the weekend of 6 December 4 to 6.
The Porirua Police Hub will be operational from Monday 7 December 2020.

From next Saturday December 5 to Sunday 6 December, the front counter (at the old station) will be closed to members of the public for walk-in reports until Monday morning (at the new station).
Aside from the closure of the old station, there will be no noticeable change to local police service levels while the move takes place. Frontline staff will still be responding to emergency calls, conducting reassurance patrols and business as usual.

Ahead of the relocation, a blessing ceremony of the new site will take place next Thursday December 3 with Ngāti Toa Rangatira Iwi and local police.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
