I'm working on a travel story for Stuff about the things that have surprised returning Kiwis about New Zealand. If you have recently returned from overseas or know someone who has, it would be great to hear about the things that have stood out for you, for better or for worse. Whether it's to do with the weather, the cost of things, the public transport, the food, the housing, the people or something else entirely, we'd be keen to hear about it. Please remember that your comment may be included in the article, unless you say you don't want it to be. Thank you.

"My neighbour Ann, a retired special ed teacher, goes the extra mile for her community. On her neighbourhood walks she notices blocked drains, or dangerous pavements on school routes and spends time phoning the Council to get them fixed. She is part of a local group that petitioned for new school crossings on Takanini School Road. She volunteers at the local school for free maths tuition. She sets a really great example of looking out for her community and makes the world a better place."
Hi, could any recommend a good GP in the Kapiti area. One with an open mind, who is able to take a holistic approach to health??

It is yet again another total waste of Ratepayers money. It has some possibly useful stuff to them about governance and relations between the executive and the councillors but it doesn't at all cover communications between the KCDC and the ratepayers which is at the core of most of their failures. KCDC simply do not listen to ratepayers wishes. They are not our servants. The tail is wagging the ratepayer dog.
It also does not address at all their financial affairs. They are out of touch with the wishes of the community advising us they have done the hard yards in cutting costs and pruning the nice to haves, yet proposing inflicting us with yet another rates rise which in these dire financial times is immoral. Still sitting there in the budget for example and costing $4.4m, is the Kapiti Gateway - a monument to what?
KCDC is the 2nd most indebted Council in NZ yet they spend our money constantly on many projects that if put to the ratepayers would get a resounding no.
