Island Bay’s Manawa Karioi Ecological Restoration Project has won a $5000 grant to erect signs and put in track markers that will help people walk local bush trails.

I went to Manawa Karioi to meet Chris Livesey from the restoration project. He says that currently the tracks, none of which are marked, can be a confusing web for people who have not used them before. New map panels at the entrances to Manawa Karioi and colour-coded track markers will help more people to enjoy them. Check out the podcast:

Dear neighbours



EDIT: Looks like someone came and tried to sand the this down while I was out. Thank you kind person, much appreciated :)



Thanks very much to the person who trespassed on to my property yesterday (past at least two very large unmissable signs) to scratch this pointless date (I guess they did it a as pathetic way to leave their mark on something that isnt theirs) into my newly poured driveway.

That driveway cost me almost half of a years salary and now I can’t stand to look at it.

I from now on I will be recording and trespassing any people walking through my property without my permission.

Dont bother commenting if it’s just to tell me it’s only a bit of writing. This is not the first time trespassers have done damage which I’ve have to pay to fix - I’m sick of it and have lost faith in just asking the people of this neighbourhood to be decent.

1/2 bedroom house to rent in the heart of Newtown

The house was originally advertised as a 1 bedroom with a big lounge but as you can see we made it a 2 bedroom and its been really comfortable.

The bathroom was brand new when I moved in and the house has always been well maintained. It's completely insulated and has brand new smoke alarms. The landlord owns several properties on the block and has invested a lot of time and money into these homes.

I've lived here with my son for the past year and while we've loved our little home I've finally had to admit I can't afford it anymore on my own.

We've already found a new home so move in date is negotiable.

How high are your power bills this winter?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.

Do your power bills come in way higher than your friends and family? Do you know why, or does the amount always take you by surprise? Maybe, like the family who created an effective solar panel heater out of drink cans, or the blogger who enjoys free power generated by a converted washing machine, you've found a creative way to minimise your bills. If so, how do you do it?

Whether your bills are high and you're looking for ways to reduce them, or you have some secrets to low power bills that you're willing to share, we'd love to hear from you. Leave a message in the comments, or email homed@stuff.co.nz.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The confronting truth of what happened in our recent past is something New Zealanders have to reckon with. When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, Māori owned more than 66 million acres of land. By 1975, almost 97 per cent had been sold or taken.
