Time to get Neighbourly
Nicholas Boyack here, I am the Stuff Neighbourly reporter for Wellington, Lower and Upper Hutt, Kāpiti, Hawke's Bay and Wairarapa.
Neighbourly is your tool to access local news, and as a way to keep in touch with those around you. I'm here to bring you the news closest to you, in a role which will work like a community newspaper reporter. I worked for the Hutt News for two decades and had spells with the Wairarapa News, Wellingtonian and Dominion Post.
If you have any stories or interesting things happening in your suburb or area, please get in touch! Tips, insults and bribes can be sent on Neighbourly or to nicholas.boyack@stuff.co.nz.
If you see items posted about your area, please get involved and reply with your comments and thoughts on the issues at hand. I'm keen for robust discussion, and a bit of banter never goes amiss. It is a big area to cover and I hope to hear from you all. Thanks in advance and I look forward to chatting with you all!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
