The Porirua Council is urging people to support Grant Monos. He has been a long-time member of council’s litter and maintenance team and he's constantly picking up rubbish out of the waterways.
As part of a litter monitoring programme, a cleanup two weeks ago by volunteers collected 1163 items of rubbish in just a few hours, 88 per cent of which was plastic.
Things like food wrappers, drink lids, pens, shoes and even part of a plastic Christmas tree were found, all having the potential for negative effects on birds and sea life. .

20 Reasons to decline a license to pollute

Michelle from Titahi Bay

Last night's hui was an eye-opener for the community, a meeting on a significant asset with significant impact on the environment, aquatic and human life, and not one Council representative there. Instead we had to listen to Council contractors justification of their spend on $1.7million … View moreLast night's hui was an eye-opener for the community, a meeting on a significant asset with significant impact on the environment, aquatic and human life, and not one Council representative there. Instead we had to listen to Council contractors justification of their spend on $1.7million thus far, on a license to pollute. What it feels like is they are spending all this time and money to create a consent document to justify what they are already doing (and increase doing) so they won't be penalised in the future.

Yep, it is not Friday but by coincidence both Andrew Gorrie and Rosa Marie visited Zealandia and photographed a stroppy tūī who did not want to share the sugar feeder.
Check out the photo of a kaka by Gorrie and the tūī by Marie. Which picture do your prefer?

Porirua City Council is out of the social housing game, voting to sell Moana Court with the condition the complex remains as social housing.
The flats complex on Te Pene Avenue, Tītahi Bay was built in 1974 to provide low-cost pensioner accommodation, it is now worth around $3.3 million.
There was much debate around the council table during the vote on the Long Term Plan on Thursday, which would set the focus and budget for council over the next 30 years.
Porirua social services recently cited housing as the “most urgent and pressing issue” facing families they worked with.
Do you support the council selling social housing?
