Drop-in sessions to discuss flooding - Porirua area

The Team from Wellington Water

On Thursday 12 July we held the first of four drop-in sessions at Titahi Bay Primary School to discuss flooding in the Porirua area. Thank you to everyone that came along. It was really helpful for us to speak to people affected by flooding and share information.

If you were unable to make that drop-in session we are holding another one tonight at Porirua School from 7pm until 8.30pm. Please come along and share photos, information, observations and experiences as this helps us understand the catchment area better.

The drop-in sessions will be held on:

Tuesday 24 July from 7pm to 8.30pm at Porirua School
Tuesday 31 July from 7pm to 8.30pm at St Theresas Catholic Church
Wednesday 8 August from 7pm to 8.30pm at Cannons Creek School

See you there

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th

Jeanette from Tawa

I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
