NPDC 10 Year Plan : 15th February 9.30am NPDC Debating Chamber

Stephanie from Spotswood

Our Council is about to undertake one of the most important tasks of its
three-year term. This is the review of
the long-term Ten Year Plan for its
future.
Late last year staff and consultants
contacted more than 5,500 people in
the community assessing the issues
that people felt were important for
the future. The result is a comprehensive report which will now be

reviewed by the elected council with
an opportunity for members of the
public to make further submissions.
The main issues to be considered are
what sort of developments need to
proceed, the cost, and the impact on
rates or borrowing.
New Plymouth Positive
Ageing, Grey Power and Age Concern Taranaki have invited Mayor
Neil Holdom to address a free forum
in the Council Debating Chamber.
This will be held in the NPDC Debating Chamber on Thursday 15th February, 9.30am to 11.00am

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
