The Government is moving to make it much harder to buy cigarettes. People born after 2009 could become New Zealand’s first-ever smokefree generation, in a policy move that is expected to bring $5 billion in health savings.
On Thursday, Associate Health Minister Ayesha Verrall announced a radical and world-leading plan to ban tobacco sales to a generation, as well as lower the nicotine level in all tobacco products and drastically reduce number of places that can sell them, through the new Smokefree 2025 action plan.

FREE Unused flea and cockroach bomb 3 pack

Adrienne from Mount Cook

I thought we had fleas in our house. Turns out it was just one hell of a mosquito. I purchased these flea bombs and haven’t used any. They’re going for free if you have your own ‘maybe it’s fleas?’ situation going on. Pick up on Nairn Street.

"I've attached some pics of our gorgeous puss Rusty aka Moomoo , Gingakat, Annoying Orange, Garfield, Garfy, Rustburger...Rusty is about 12 and a half years old and definitely rules our household...She has never spent a night outdoors and can be found during the day snoozing in the most unexpected spots. She is totally ginger which apparently is unusual for a girl? We adore her 🧡😻."

Rhona Carson from Newtown Residents' Association Inc

Have you made a submission yet? It is important for all voices to be heard, so if you have opinions about the proposals in the Draft District Plan do tell the Wellington City Council about them!
On the WCC Website you will find information about the DDP, and also helpful videos about how to read and understand the plan and about how to make a submission.
There are enormous changes proposed for most of Wellington, including for Newtown where large areas have been zoned for 'at least 6 storeys'. We love Newtown and look forward to sharing our unique suburb with more people, but if the District Plan goes through in it's current form the shading from tall buildings will damage the qualities that make sunny sheltered Newtown a great place to live. There is a better way - careful mapping has shown that more than 2000 new homes can be provided by selective up-zoning of areas of Newtown where substantial mixed use apartment developments can be accommodated without significant damage to the rest of residential Newtown. A Newsletter we sent out yesterday explored these issues further - see the Campaign Archive link.
