Traditionally Devonshire Tea is scones with cream & jam, which of course we’ll have, but there will also be another couple of delicious items on the menu.

What the Trust achieved was because they turned up in person and let their elected representatives know what the people who live and pay rates here in, want their city to be. Which is not to exclude a demographic with marginal choices from being able to live in Upper Hutt, whether they orignated here or not.
Democracy in action, reminding our elected representatives and public servanats – who serves who.
I read about it in the Leader – Front page no less – I thought those days were over!
I do have to question as to why the Mayor and Council are lacking the compassion to help house our citizens, whoever they are, whatever their circumstances?
Is there an agenda by this Mayor and Council to discourage a certain demographic from being part of our city scape?

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.
Want to share your thoughts?
Let us know how you’re supporting young people in your communities this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
