Reclaim the Hardwick Smith Lounge in Belmont Domain for community use
"🚨 We need YOUR Support to reclaim the Lounge! 🚨
The Hardwick-Smith Lounge is at risk of being lost forever, and without community support, we won’t be able to bring it back. The Council has no funds to restore it, so it’s up to us to reclaim and restore this space for Belmont and Lower Hutt!
It only takes 2 minutes to make a real difference. Sign the petition now and show that our community is ready to stand together.
👉 Sign the petition: change.org...
👉 Join us at the public meeting on October 23rd at 7:30 PM at the Kelson Community Centre, 5A timaru Grove, Kelson
We need YOUR voice to reclaim this vital community space. Let’s unite and show that we are strong, committed, and ready to act!
Together, we can reclaim the Hardwick-Smith Lounge! Let’s show what community power can achieve! 💪"
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
