Cr Chris Milne guilty of 'serious and material' code of conduct breaches

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

An independent investigator has found "material and serious" code of conduct breaches by Hutt City councillor Chris Milne.

The breaches relate to two separate complaints made against Milne to the council’s chief executive by Deputy Mayor Tui Lewis in May.
The first accused Milne of interfering with the council’s waste and recycling tender process, while the second alleged an ongoing conflict of interest while the council considered selling land for the benefit of Hutt Valley Tennis.

Milne's wife is the President of Hutt Valley Tennis, which has been seeking significant financial support from the council.
Milne declined to comment other than to say he would be presenting evidence on Friday which the council had not yet seen.

Respite care when you need it

Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village

From rehabilitation after a hospital stay, to a little extra support, whether it’s for a few nights or a few weeks - respite care provides temporary care in a range of circumstances.

If you still live in your own home, a short stay at one of our care centres could be a welcome break from your usual routine.

Our respite care is offered at rest home-level care, hospital and specialist dementia care. In some circumstances, we may be able to offer you respite care in a serviced apartment.

If you've been thinking about moving to a Ryman care centre, spending time with us in respite care is a great way for you to experience the lifestyle in our villages before making your decision.
