We know our online comments are not read, considered, or taken into account.
I would be prepared to set up a survey (as I did for the Recycling issue) to present to appropriate personnel so we can at least say we tried.
Any thoughts or support for this idea? Someone else may wish to take on the challenge. I just don't think we should sit back and be walked all over.

Right now we spend almost $900,000 each year on emergency management in the Wellington region. We’re considering spending $300,000 more annually and we want to know what you think.
Should we spend more on emergency preparation?

Could a capital gains tax (not on the family home), taking GST off healthy food, or taxing activity that damages the environment make NZ an even better place to live and work? The Tax Working Group are keen to hear what matters most to you. Time is ticking to have your say.

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

As we age, the risk of having a fall increases. Those over the age of 65 have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall and those over 80 it’s 1 in 2.
Having a fall can be devastating and can often result in a broken bone, which is painful and can take a long time to heal stopping us from doing the things we love.
The good news is that many falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer aims to help reduce the risk of having a fall so we can live an independent and active life.
Having good strength and balance is key to staying on your feet. You can find approved community strength and balance classes in your area and practical information, advice, and resources on reducing the risk of falls.
Live Stronger for Longer and join the movement today.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQSC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Hi group. I'm looking for recommendations/suggestions for a cleaner and also someone to help tidy our garden. We moved to Timberlea a few months ago and with a new baby we just aren't managing to get very much done. Thanks for your time.
