One short email from you can help open their eyes...

Jean from Tahunanui

Councillors seem to me to be at least a year behind the times in their thinking.

Replies to date from councillors to my email protesting the $44 million library precinct and the 7% cumulative rates increases for the next 7 years, basically say that they've had very few complaints, that they think they're acting in our best interests, that they can feel the 'synergy' this would bring; one even said they could imagine " a virtual electro-magnet for the kind of talent that will bring our city investment, innovation, opportunities and jobs." LISTEN UP COUNCILLORS! We are facing climate change with storms, fires, flooding; the real possibility according to the latest scientists of Covid getting into NZ; we have the dire situation of residents who are homeless, or hungry, poor - young people can't even afford their first home, let alone pay rental prices... and we have infrastructure and a housing crisis that can't possibly cope with an influx of electro-magnetically attracted talent. This Council needs to open their eyes to reality, not wonderful beautiful nice-to-have visions that are out of touch.
if you're at all concerned about this council's plans for a $44 million library and huge cumulative rates increases of around 7% a year for seven years- please do pop off just a brief email to them stating your concern! An email to councillors@ncc.govt.nz will be sent to each and every councillor.

Red Hot Poker flowers

Marilyn from The Brook

NO thanks to the person who took some of my joy by stealing three beautiful red hot poker flowers from my property at 221 Brook St. Now they can no longer be enjoyed by others as they walk past either. That was selfish and you also trespassed to do so. Think in future.

We have sold our lovely Redvale Ridge B&B and are requiring a house for rent preferably in the Māpua, Ruby Bay, Mahana, Redwood Valley area. We need to rent while we look for a place to buy. We need a place by the third week of July.

We are three adults (two in our sixties and the other our 28 year old daughter) and one Russian Blue Cat so would like three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and preferably an office.

We have rented in the past and have left every place better than how we found it. Over the years running our B&B we were consistently reviewed on how clean our home was. We also like to keep a nice garden.

Repair Cafes are community events which match people with broken household items with skilled volunteers or specialists who like fixing things. We're fixing items and building community. Come along and you might pick up some new fixing skills.
You will be able to bring household items for smaller repairs – examples include:

Bicycles
Electrical repairs (NO large appliances, microwaves and electric blankets)
Small furniture or miscellaneous household items
Toys
Clothing & leather
Tool maintenance

One item will be accepted per household, although if it’s not too busy, additional items may be repaired. It will be at the discretion of the Repair Café and the volunteers as to whether an item is suitable for repair, and you’ll be encouraged to observe and engage so that you can pick up new skills too.

Whilst you’re visiting, it’s also a great opportunity to browse the extensive ReStore shop and grab a coffee at their café.

If you want to join in as a repairer or a helper (meet & greet, runner) you would be very welcome and fed coffee and cake!! Contact me through Neighbourly.
