Draft maps of river and stormwater flood hazards have been prepared. Next week, we’ll start taking the maps to communities across the city, and we’d like people with memories or photos of past flood events to help us make the finished maps as accurate as possible.
So come along to our public information sessions and view the draft maps, learn more about natural hazards and help us to manage flood risk in our city. More information blow.

No one keeps tabs on deer numbers but anecdotally they are turning up in a range of urban areas including Naenae, Stokes Valley, Eastbourne and Wainuiomata, as well as the Belmont Regional Park.
The Hutt City Council has a $15,000 fund for culling deer, which is administered by Greater Wellington Regional Council.
Department of Conservation’s biodiversity threats advisor Dave Carlton says the deer that help themselves to Taylor’s garden point to a much bigger problem.
There are similar issues in urban areas throughout New Zealand and DOC is working on a national framework to come up with a strategy to deal with deer.

But what is yarn? What is spun yarn? Are there other types? What does it all mean, and how much relevance does this bear to your final fabric? That’s what we are here to look at in a little more detail.
What is Yarn?
Yarn is a length of fibres. That’s the simplest way to explain it. It is a continuous length of fibres which are interlocked, and it’s used to produce fabrics, as well as in crocheting, knitting, embroidery and ropemaking.
This means that we can split yarn into two different ‘categories’ of sorts. The thread that is used for embroidery or in sewing machines, as well as yarn (commonly known as balls-of-wool) used in crafts such as knitting or crocheting, are long lengths that are bought as yarns.
The alternative would be a yarn which is then knitted or woven into a fabric. The textile is then bought as fabric, in lengths, rather than the yarn itself being purchased separately. This second description is the one that we will explore further in this post.
What is Yarn Made From?
Yarn can be made from such a variety of different fibres. This includes both natural and synthetic fibres. The most common plant fibre is cotton, however, you can also use other natural fibres such as bamboo. Alongside cotton, the synthetic polyester fibre makes up the two most commonly used fibres. Animal fibres are also often used, such as wool, harvested from sheep, as well as cashmere (harvested from goats) Angora (from rabbits) and silk (from insect larvae).
What is the Difference Between Spun and Filament Yarn?
Spun yarn is made by twisting staple fibres together in either an S or Z twist, to make a single thread. The process of twisting the fibres together into yarn is called spinning and it was one of the first processed to be industrialised. Spun yarns can contain a single type of fibre, or you can spin various types of fibre together to give you a blend.
Filament yarn is made up of filament fibres which are either twisted together or simply grouped together. It can either be composed of one filament, which is called a monofilament, or it could be made of more than one, in which case it would be known as a multifilament. This can be as few as two or three filament fibres, or even up to 50, or more.

The latest computer modelling techniques have been used to develop
draft flood hazard maps that depict stormwater and river flooding.
Now we need you to help finish the job. To make sure the finished
maps are as accurate as possible, we’d like you to tell us about flooding
events in your neighbourhoods and show us any photos you’ve got.
For further information on this project, go to: hutt.city/floodhazards
We’d also like your thoughts on other natural hazards like earthquakes, slips and erosion, and their impacts on our city.
We need this information as we prepare to draft a new district plan – the rule book for land use and development in Lower Hutt. And lastly, as part of the district plan review, we’d like to talk to you about residential development in the city, particularly your thoughts on what is a reasonable distance for people to walk from higher-density residential housing to train stations, shops and other facilities.

Please meet Alyce Read of Nelson, who uses her houseplant collection to connect with others and help them overcome mental health challenges. "You wouldn’t take a plant and put it in a dark corner and fail to water it and expect it to thrive. So we should look at ourselves that way," she says. "If we are not thriving in the way that we would wish, it might not be any fault of ours, it might be the conditions that we are under."

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, build a free community library for your street, buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re spreading kindness this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
