1. Several gardens around the city, all producing nutrient rich, naturally fertilised spray-free vegetables. Initially Upper Hutt residents can purchase these vegetables through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) system. Support a local farmer and a local family.

Fabulous singer, songwriter Ed is coming knocking at your door next February - or at least starting his Australasian tour at Sky Stadium in Wellington.

You can discount the other fewer and cheaper options as even the awe inspiring Sheeran is too small to see clearly from a distance - he is not a towering giant like a NBA basketball player nor a pudgy overweight AB rugby prop. Quite the opposite really.
Well, I suppose it is cheaper than taking in a major concert in Auckland for us Wellingtonians - when you total up airfares, accomodation, other travel costs, food plus the price of the show which not too long ago use to be around $100 less than Ed Sheeran's "minders" in Wellington are demanding.
Yesterday, Russia bombing came within 7.5km (5 minutes vehicle travel time) of starting the third world war.

Russia who are not doing as well as it had anticipated, is tempted to use chemical warfare on the poor Ukrainians, a presumed red line action for the USA.
It must be noted that Russia and the USA have both used chemical weapons in previous wars on multiple occasions.
If NATO and Europe including of course in both instances the UK get into conflict with the Russians (and possibly the Chinese), should NZ go into battle as we have done in the first and second world wars?
DO we side with the Ukrainian who famously said:"Russian warship, go @%&* yourself" not only in words but in action. Or should we be like USA in the second world war and assist our allies in other ways than sending troops and only physically take part if attacked. I suppose Trentham army base will become a target which does not make the surrounding residential areas safe havens.
I wonder if there is any extra urgency at this juncture within the Trentham ranks.
Today is a perfect time to stop and enjoy the company of your neighbours, friends and family!
The team at NZ Compare wish you all good health, good luck and happiness for 2022.

The council is seeking feedback on a private change to its District Plan that could allow up to 200 houses to be built on an old pig farm.

The owners of 74.5 hectares in Maymorn, known as Gabites Block, have applied to change the zoning from General Rural and Rural Production, to Settlement Zone.
Mayor Wayne Guppy says that the owners want to develop it for housing, which requires a change of zoning.
It is a private land change, which means it is the owners and not the council that are driving it.
Ultimately, it will be heard by independent commissioners and Guppy is expecting a lot of interest. Moves towards intensification always result in a heated response and he expects the proposal will get in some strong objections.
