"As a small city slicker, I don't see swamp harriers/kāhu (Circus approximans) that often (actually, I probably don't see them that often as we have falcons that live around here - the city raptor niche slot is full). We rumbled this one a couple of weekends ago feeding on some roadkill (as they do) on the gravel road to Boggy Pond in the Wairarapa. He was reluctant to go too far from his dinner, so I clicked a few shots as we walked past. Bird #58 in 2022."

Upper Hutt Lights Up

Michael from Trentham

Upper Hutt has a new night time display object.

It's funny but I mentioned what should happen last year ago on Neighbourly and finally, maybe someone took notice.

Upper Hutt has a new night time display object.

It's funny but I mentioned what should happen last year ago on Neighbourly and finally, maybe someone took notice.

Its all about the tallest object in Upper Hutt - no its not a building in the CBD or a tree in Trentham Memorial Park - it's an old but proud chimney.

It is sited within the area that houses Brewtown and so several weeks ago the tall, narrow, ugly by day, concrete smokestack took on a night-time glamour all of its own with large neon lighting proclaiming BREWTOWN running almost from the top to near the bottom.

And guess what - it can change colours too: multi and singularily. A colour or colours to suit the occasion.

Tonight it is purple.

Just maybe it could be symbol of a brighter future for Upper Hutt.

Please do come to Citizens Advice Bureau's free talk on Friday 27th May at 11am upstairs in the Rimu Rooms in Coastlands if you want to know more, or have friends or relatives who are struggling

New Zealand tenancy laws have been steadily been updated over the last couple of years to provide greater fairness, and new Healthy Homes Standards mean that your homes must be warm and dry, but there are still areas of Tenancy legislation that don't necessarily protect tenants, especially people new to renting who are flatting

Come along to our free information session, and learn about Landlord and Tenant responsibilities in New Zealand and the new Healthy Homes Standards Landlords have to comply with

We will have a Q&A session afterwards and our speaker from Porirua Kapiti Community Law Centre, Mike Sceats, can also answer questions on other topics you might be struggling with, such as citizenship applications, employment contracts etc

Nibbles, tea and coffee will be available afterwards 😊😊😊

Well .... That was a disappointing article in this weeks Kapiti Observer on the price of butter. I could have got more information from reading the comments on Neighbourly.
More info on the wholesale price of butter would have been interesting along with a recommendation or two about what action should be taken and what options consumers have. For example, the price of butter blends has stayed relatively constant, at around the $5 mark, compared to the 100% butter packs. There are some other advantages too. Blends are better for you than butter in terms of saturated fat and most dont contain preservatives, while many margerines do.
Freight costs to ship goods overseas are high at present. So, if we are paying the same price as UK Sainsbury's, are we paying an overinflated price, given that there are less freight costs involved?
Was hoping for a good piece of investigative journalism on this issue, which was sadly lacking.
