Delays to rubbish bin roll out

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

The latest information from the council on the rubbish bins.

"Kia ora Lower Hutt, the terrible weather at the weekend meant not all of the new rubbish and recycling bins could be delivered as scheduled.
We're doing a big push and all bins should have been delivered by end of day Wednesday, except for properties that have been contacted and are receiving rubbish bags until their bins arrive in July
Suburbs that will have their bins delivered today and tomorrow are in Wainuiomata and include Homedale, Parkway, Glendale, Arakura and Moores Valley. We are also continuing to make deliveries to apartments and townhouses across the city.
We appreciate your patience and understanding and want to reassure you that you will have your bins in time for the new service starting.
If you are not in Wainuiomata, or in an apartment or townhouse – and haven't heard from us directly – please contact us if you have not received your bins. Phone 04 570-6666/ 0800 HUTT CITY or email us at binchanges@huttcity.govt.nz"

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
