I seek your support for WEL Energy Trust election

Alan from Fairfield

In 1986 I founded Houston Technology Group which designed the NZ Covid Tracer app before gifting the design to NZ (www.stuff.co.nz...). Today, we are still working hard to improve Kiwi lives through technology.

Born into poverty, this would not have been possible without NZ's generosity in allowing me to come to the Waikato in 1975.

I therefore seek re-election to WEL Energy Trust to continue paying back my debt.

Having been a trustee of Trust Waikato and WEL Trust for 11 years, a business owner of HTG for 37 years (and 8 years as a CA before then) I have the expertise to ensure that WEL Networks operates as a successful business and both the consumers and the community receive the maximum sustainable benefit from this $1.2b community asset.

I have been very fortunate to be joined by community and business leaders, Edgar Wilson, Natasha Harvey and Rachel Afeaki to form the MORE Discounts & Grants team.

Please visit www.MOREdiscountsandgrants.co.nz... to read about the $200m profit generated from WEL’s recent UFF sale and how the MORE Team plans to increase BOTH discounts and grants to help the entire community.

I will be very grateful if you would support us.

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
