Hi Neighbourly folk. You would have seen an article in your local paper on Mary Potter Hospice. It is a really tough time for charities at the moment and hospices, like Mary Potter, are struggling.
Is it right that they have to rely on people like Kāpiti real estate agent Doug Palmer​ to raise funds? He has been raising money for Mary Potter for about 20 years.
During that time, he estimates he has helped raise about $75,000, raffling fish caught in a fishing contest.

Rubbish bag shortage in Porirua

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

The Porirua council and some supermarkets have run out rubbish bags.
The council says you may now leave a standard black rubbish bag at the kerbside and it will be picked up.
"Please use a black bag like the ones available at most supermarkets so it can be easily spotted from the truck."

The council says you may now leave a standard black rubbish bag at the kerbside and it will be picked up.
"Please use a black bag like the ones available at most supermarkets so it can be easily spotted from the truck."
Bags still need to weigh less than 15kg and won’t be picked up if they’re heavier than that.
This change will apply to March 32, to allow stocks to build up again.
