This format has been suggested by the Neighbourly Team, with Elesha's endorsement, as a method to include the whole Upper Valley when the need arises to be a united voice. Am hoping to get this up and running as a method to unite when necessary, and to keep everyone involved when it comes to topics or events beyond individual communities.
I would be grateful if a Lead from each of our 17 neighbourhoods could step forward as an 'Official' (don't like that word, but ....) to help oversee the process, ensure it stays on track, and becomes an extension of individual Noticeboards.
It would have been great to have it for the Recycling Survey, but now we can move forward.
One can reach this by clicking on the 'Organisations' section on the green header toolbar, or respond via this message.
Thanks in anticipation
Sandra

A huge thanks to all ( 133 of you 👏 ) who took the time to take part.
I have summarised the information to present alongside the poll Heather Blissett (Neighbourhood Support) and her supporters have undertaken via Facebook, along with some oral responses from people caught at the recycle depot itself. All this data will presented to the UHCC at the appropriate time. Remember : anyone will be able to make a personal submission.
I am attaching my summary for those who are interested.

What about SOLAR as a source of heating for your home...
Solar panels provide essentially free hot water. Any excess can be diverted to heating a pool or added into a floor heating system. During winter months solar will require back-up heat supplementation. Power and gas prices are continuing to rise and are forecast to increase sharply as demand increases – solar is renewable, sustainable, efficient and reduces hot water heating costs.

UPCOMING ROAD WORKS - STATE HIGHWAY 2 – UPPER HUTT
At Brown Owl in Upper Hutt, a new footpath with a kerb and drainage channel is being constructed along the east side of the highway north of the intersection of Main Road with Akatarawa Road and Vista Crescent. Construction on behalf of the Upper Hutt City Council is expected to take up to 3 weeks from Monday 14 August. The project requires removing the existing guardrail and trimming the overhanging bushes before the footpath site can be excavated. If you are traveling through the area you can expect to see lane closures and speed restrictions in place Monday to Friday.
Motorists are advised to TAKE EXTRA CARE as traffic cones will define the lanes to allow the workers a safe zone in which to work.
Pedestrians will be diverted to the other side of the highway via the pedestrian underpass at the northern end.

You should expect services to be carried out with appropriate competency and skills, and completed to a reasonable standard.
For example, Jan had two painters provide quotes for some painting and wallpaper work. She chose her painter and the work was completed. Two weeks later she noticed bumps and lumps in the wallpaper, that she hadn’t noticed at the time the bill was paid.
With a faulty product, you can return it and ask for a repair, replacement or refund. But that’s not so easy with a service! But Jan’s story ended well, the painter came back and rectified the problem at no cost to Jan.
