Sutherland Rd residents are fed up with stones and loose tar.
Lisa Blackmore knows more about road tar than a registered nurse rightly should. Foe the last six months she has been complaining about resealing that occurred six months ago.
She received a response from the council’s chief infrastructure officer, Tom Williams, who said Wellington City provided a “much higher level of service” for road resurfacing than the rest of New Zealand, which also meant it cost more.
He believed the correct surface had been put on the road, but there were “issues with the treatment outcome”.
Have you had any problems with your street.

The SPCA Neighbourly Pet of the Day is Snowflake.
"I am super sweet and thanks to my amazing foster family, I am used to dogs, cats and children.
I will need to be adopted to a home with an existing female rabbit, so if you have a lonely rabbit, maybe we could be friends. I will need a weather-proof hutch, with a run for day time. At night, I will need a space inside your home. it can be a room, or a hutch, but some where I can spend time with the family.
If this sounds like your set up, please be in touch with my care givers to make an appointment to meet me."

I realise it is not Wednesday but on such a special day, I thought I would ask Neighbourly users for their memories.
Did you ever meet him or do you have a story about our greatest New Zealander?

This week we feature a picture and words from Rosa Marie from Stokes Valley.

"A visit to Silverstream yesterday afternoon to see if I could find some kingfishers and I was rewarded by the sight of several of them on powerlines, swooping down to grab tasty morsels, but couldn't get close enough to any of them to get decent shots so these photos are heavily cropped. At one point a kingfisher was sharing his line with a huge group of Starlings! I loved watching the two magpies displaying teamwork when tearing at a clump of grasses! As I walked through St Pats, the sparrows were enjoying a dustbath!"

Hello there, my name is Lesley. I have been working successfully in the area of de-cluttering, organising and downsizing for the last 8 years.

I am looking for clients to trial a smart new weekly or fortnightly service working one on one with me. For this trial I am offering a lower hourly rate of $25.

I have taken down my website while I redesign my business - however there are plenty of very happy clients who will vouch for my excellent work.

I know it can be difficult inviting someone new into your home - especially if you feel overwhelmed by how your home is. But I am compassionate, understanding, and I never judge - ever. For most clients any awkwardness or embarrassment passes during the first few hours - to be replaced with relief.

I absolutely love helping and seeing the burden lifted.

Please do feel free to call or text me to discuss possibilities on 021 1769377. Or email lesleyk@slingshot.co.nz

Thank you - Lesley

Last mass at historic St Gerard's feels bittersweet

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

What would you like to see happen to St Gerard's
The historic church has closed because of its earthquake-prone status. Its owners made the decision after the owners struggled to raise the $11 million to $13m needed to pay for strengthening work. Only $42,000 had been donated by July 2020.
