The native parrots have been absent from the Hutt Valley for nearly a century.

Have you ever seen any kākā in the Hutt Valley?

NZ Post and Courierpost

Geoff from Waiwhetu

What is this world coming too or should I say what is the postal service coming too. First they cut deliveries back to 3 days maybe that is why it took a parcel 3 weeks from Auckland North Shore to arrive at my address in Waiwhetu. "Disgusting service".

First they cut deliveries back to 3 days maybe that is why it took a parcel 3 weeks from Auckland North Shore to arrive at my address in Waiwhetu. "Disgusting service". Today I was expecting a parcel which I paid for overnight and signature required to be delivered. When I rung to find out why it was not delivered the reply was they had a breakdown at Courier Post in Wellington. Turns out the conveyor belt had broken down. Hello suggest they get off their backsides and sort the parcels like we used to manually. I was then told that it would be delivered on Friday which is actually too late as it was required tomorrow. Considering I got an update to say it is now sitting at Seaview depot waiting for courier. I actually queried another parcel that showed it was sent on the Saturday but did not leave the courier depot where it was being sent from until Monday night when it was then sorted but did not leave until the tuesday.
When I worked at NZ Post Office back in the 70's we had a 7 day 24 hour service, whereas now you are lucky if it is 3 days a week and 8 hours a day. Postal Services have gone back to the dark ages and it is time that the govt (Labour) stepped in and took charge instead of NZ Post being allowed to make their own decisions. Back before the Post Office was split we had a Postmaster General who reported to the Minister and they did not make their own decisions like they do now.

Supporting Our Young People – May 1st to 31st 👥

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re supporting young people in your communities this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
