Congestion Tax,

Jill from Welcome Bay

The object of this is to reduce vehicle numbers on the roads at peak times and to encourage the use of public transport .Why is there congestion???? most of the major routes in and out of the city are a myriad of cones. Public transport in this city is inadequate, in that can they be relied on to take me where I want to go without having to walk the distance to my destination? That's a hard 'NO' .Perhaps those who thought up this less than brilliant idea need to rethink the disadvantages that this will bring to many.

If you have family who have been feeling cold in their home through winter, help may be at hand to make their home warm, dry, and healthy.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more homes are eligible for insulation grants. It gets better - there are lots of community organisations offering extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to our website to check their eligibility, today.
