Parking meters in Petone

Jenny from Petone

It is beyond my comprehension that the Hutt City Council would choose to start putting parking meters in Petone.

Are they totally unaware that we are in a very difficult place economically, and shopkeepers are struggling to keep their heads above water? Are they hoping to get more people to choose to shop at Queensgate? Look how that impacted on Lower Hutt's business centre. Is this a move to undermine Petone's economy as well? Quite frankly I think this is a disgusting thing to do, and I would be interested to hear what other members of the community feel about this.

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

As we come up to the festive season, a lot of us want to shop online and look for good bargains 🛍️🛒

Here’s a few tips to help you stay safe, avoid buying stolen property, and not get taken advantage of:
💸If it is too good to be true, it probably is, or it could be stolen property.
💸If it’s being sold as new, ask for the receipt for the warranty. If they can’t provide it, that’s a red flag.
💸Check the seller’s profile, is it new or relatively blank?
💸If you make a purchase and need to meet somebody to get it, choose somewhere well-lit and well populated in public, near CCTV. If it has to be somebody’s home, take someone with you and let someone else know where you’re going and when.
💸Be especially cautious when buying power tools or high-end toy brick building block sets.

Sadly, if you unknowingly buy stolen property, you’re aiding criminals and inadvertently supporting them to steal more.
If you find a suspect listing or social media scam, call 105, or report it with us online at 105.police.govt.nz

Hutt City facing same problems as Wellington in funding water infrastructure.

wellington.scoop.co.nz...

Lower Hutt’s mayor says most metropolitan councils will soon face the same problem as Wellington on funding water infrastructure.

Local government Minister Simeon Brown has installed a Crown observer at Wellington City Council and has criticised the council for paying for water infrastructure through rates, rather than debt.

Lower Hutt Mayor Campbell Barry said on Morning Report this morning that Wellington could not have paid for it through debt, and his council could not do that either. <more www.rnz.co.nz... >

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
