Hi Neighbours,
I am just wondering if anyone out there travels in a Ute or truck with trailer, from Levin to (or passes by) Raumati South area during the week and would be able to transport a parrot cage and stand?

I am just wondering if anyone out there travels in a Ute or truck with trailer, from Levin to (or passes by) Raumati South area during the week and would be able to transport a parrot cage and stand? I am happy to pay for the trouble. I have just purchased the cage and am unsure that it will fit in my car and unfortunately I don’t have a tow bar. Many thanks 🙏
Nicky 😊
Hi Neighbours,
I’m on the hunt for a rat cage. If you have one for purchase that’s in good condition and large enough for two rats then please contact me urgently via this post. Much appreciated 🙏😊.
Cheers- Nicky

Every day, your local Council works to deliver infrastructure and services that keep our community ticking. So, Kāpiti, we’re taking you on a crash course of what we do and why we do it.
Why? Because your vote matters in this October's local elections, and you might be surprised how much our work impacts your daily life.
Level up and stay tuned for more in our #CrashCourseInCouncil
Lots of grapefruit lovers out there, thanks to everyone that came today. There are still quite a few on the tree, however they need some more sun to ripen and expand as they are quite small. I will come back to those of you have replied when more are ready😊

Our fixed base weekly fee means Ryman residents can relax and make confident financial choices. And as living costs continue to rise, our fixed fee guarantee is more important than ever.
Ryman residents say that this financial security helps them plan ahead for large expenses like holidays while still enjoying themselves today. Because fewer responsibilities mean that you can live on your own terms. It’s one of the ways we’re pioneering retirement living – so you can embrace life and blaze a new trail in retirement.

In May, mayor K Gurunathan said he was standing down after two terms to spend more time with his family.
First-term councillor Rob McCann last week announced he was standing, promising a different style of council if elected.
Deputy mayor Janet Holborow has joined the race, as an independent with backing from the Labour Party.
Waikanae resident Chris Mitchell announced in March he would be standing for mayor.
PLEASE HELP GET OUR BUILDING PROJECT OVER THE LINE

Just over a year ago, we launched our Building Fund Appeal - the largest fundraising campaign since the foodbank's inception in 1999. The goal was to raise funds to purchase, relocate and refurbish a purpose-built facility we could call our permanent home.
Throughout the project, we have received overwhelming support from the MenzShed, local businesses and service clubs, churches, and the KCDC. However, increasing build costs, and unexpected expenses have left us short of funds to complete our building project.
No stone has been left unturned in our efforts to provide a permanent home for our much-needed service - including grants, large business donations, and repurposing materials from the community centre.
Our goal is to be in our fully refurbished building by spring, but we need your help for that final push.
So whatever you can afford, please dig deep and help us get over the line.
You can donate by calling into our office at 134 Rimu Road, Paraparaumu, or by visiting our website, or by going to your local bank.
Bank account name: Foodbank Building Fund Appeal
Bank account: 12-3157-0048639-50
And for those businesses or schools keen to get involved, why not come up with something creative for a gold coin donation. It's not only a fun idea but will help boost spirits during these colder months - and it's for a great cause.
All donations over $5.00 are tax-deductible, so if you require a receipt or to share photos, please email foodbankkapiti@gmail.com.
Visit www.thekapitifoodbank.co.nz... for a direct link to our designated building fund appeal account.
Once again thank you from the team at the Kapiti Community Foodbank, and from all those in need who rely on our services.
