Wellington Water

Tracey from Kilbirnie

Just read a article on Stuff about the potential water restrictions in Wellington. For God sake when will the Wellington City Council do what they were elected to do. Do we need new cycle ways - no, new road kerbing - no, no and no to the waste of tax payers money on things that don't need doing. I am so sick and tired of paying rates for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The WCC need to get their act together. I know, people, this had been discussed before but REALLY seriously they need to get a grip and do something. Maybe people should stop paying their rates. Can you image. Their incompetence needs to stop

Poll: Are swear words no longer?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In 2023, Apple amended its autocorrect function to allow Iphone users to freely use their intended word without mentioning 'ducks'. Is this a sign of the times? Are swear words no longer taboo in our communities or workplaces?
