Our changing climate poses risks to our natural and built environments. Swiss Re in a global analysis of insurance risk said to “expect climate risks to raise global property premiums by 33-41% between 2020 and 2040”. The potential increase was deemed a direct consequence of our changing climate.
Our Climate Insights property report provides easily understood information on change to risks for your current or a future property. The report includes robust and actionable information for residential property owners, tenants and investors to enhance their property’s climate resilience.

I bought an item that was faulty. after 6 months (approximately) toing and froing on phone and e-mail, they agreed to refund the item. continuing interactions got me just stalling from them. two years later they still haven't refunded me. There is no disagreement to take to the small claims tribunal, as they have agreed to refund the purchase price. They just have not done so.
In checking with the Justice Department and Consumer Affairs, there doesn’t seem to be any mechanism to compel payment.

A 49-year-old man was arrested in the early hours of 22 September for the burglary of a Masterton address overnight that night.

This week we feature two guinea pigs.

"We were bought to SPCA because our family could no longer care for us. We are now looking for a home together. Eddie and Valerie are sweet guinea pigs who love their food.
We are very sweet to watch, and are getting better at being handled, but we really don't like it, like most guinea pigs. We will need a large grassy area with a weatherproof hutch for day time. At night, we will need to be inside with you as part of your family so will need an area inside your home. It will need to be large enough for us to fit comfortably for the night, or for days when the weather is just too awful to be outside in. If that sounds like your set-up, please get in touch with our Small Animal Team for an appointment."
Church fair with a range of stalls, teas and coffee.
If you would like a stall to sell your wares contact Andrew - email charmail@xtra.co.nz or complete attached form.
