With 60 per cent of the city’s three waters assets needing to be replaced over the next 30 years, Hutt city councillors will discuss investment options for the next decade at a Long term/Annual Plan meeting on Thursday. In August, Wellington Water Limited presented two options to the Hutt City Council. The infrastructure management company’s preferred “mid option” was an investment of $375 million over the next decade. The “low option” of $204m would not keep pace with growth, council officers say.

Hi All, my 2021 calendar is currently at Valley Printing in Petone in prepress. It is a large A3 (297mmX420mm) calendar on 150gsm gloss art paper, with the cover on 300gsm gloss art board.

It is a large A3 (297mmX420mm) calendar on 150gsm gloss art paper, with the cover on 300gsm gloss art board. Printed on one side and spiral bound, this means that each month and the cover are a frameable art-quality high resolution print for you to cut out when the month is finished. I have to decide on final print numbers by Friday, so if you would like one let me know. A calendar will cost NZ$35, inclusive of GST and postage within New Zealand, or you can get a $8 discount ($27.00) if you can collect directly from me in Woburn, Lower Hutt. You can preorder on louise@louisethomas.co.nz (or message me if you prefer). Payment on pick-up or I can send you a GST invoice for deposit into my bank account when they are ready to post. They should be ready early October.

We rely on donations to be able to achieve the work we do to ensure seniors are not left lonely, that they have groceries delivered, and are well taken care of and informed. Our volunteers always work hard and make many sacrifices to reach out to older people across the Wellington Region.
We are extra proud of our volunteer team in 2020 as they stepped up during Covid-19 and ensured hundreds of seniors had someone to talk to, during and after, lockdown. They made thousands of phone calls and even delivered groceries to seniors who couldn’t get down to the supermarket. They are fantastic, and we wouldn’t be able to achieve all we do without them.
That’s why we want to say a big thank to them all this Christmas. We would love to show them how much they mean to us and to older people across the Region. Can you help us do this?
Whittaker's and Annah Stretton have generously donated goods for our volunteers. But we are in need of more help. If you can help us or know of someone or a business that can, please email me at volunteer@acwellington.org.nz
Thank you very much.

The theatre industry is calling for a change to regulations, which would see them doing away with social distancing and enforcing masks.
Those involved in the industry believe it is unfair you can 80 people on a bus you can only have a maximum of 100 people at a theatre. What do you think?

This young chap sometimes visits my back garden - one of the perks of living not too far from the river, I guess. He isn't always polite, and chucked up some crab bits last time he was here. I've been pleased to see a few around the estuary lately too.
