This year we're holding a poll on our election system, alongside the local body elections.

At the moment Hutt City Council and its community boards use First Past the Post (FPP), which means voters place a tick beside the candidate(s) they want to vote for. The candidate who receives the most votes is elected.

The other option is to switch to Single Transferable Vote (STV), which means voters rank their candidates in order of preference and the candidate(s) with the most overall support win. STV is currently used by Greater Wellington Regional Council, among others.

Check out DIA's website for more information on the two options.

With the 75+ population projected to double in 20 years’ time, it’s more important than ever to choose a retirement village that is equipped to support you when you’re fully independent as well as if you need care.

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.

We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.

Meet Button.

"Hey, I'm Button. I am a very handsome and lovable boy. I am a huge love bug and absolutely adore everyone that I meet. I would love to go to my new home where there is someone around for most parts of the day as I thrive on companionship and don't really like being by myself. I love playing with my toys and chasing them around my room. I would be okay going to a home with young children as they will be able to play with me, but they should know when to give me time and space to myself when I need it, and of course to be respectful of me. I would also be okay going to a home with another cat as I also really love feline companionship just as much as my humans. I would also be okay going to a home that has a calm and cat friendly dog. I do have a medical waiver that my new family will need to be made aware of but we can chat about this when you meet me."
