The recycling station is supposed to be open to 8 pm, so with 7 hours to go, many more people are going to come away frustrated by the council's inaction to provide a proper recycling stations throughout the city. I have previously emailed the the Mayor about this ongoing problem, but of course I didn't receive any answer from him or his executive. Maybe the Upper Hutt leader can investigate and shame the council into taking action to provide more bins or to have the bins emptied more regularly.
Hey neighbours,
A local councillor wants to stop drivers honking inside the Mt Vic tunnel because it annoys pedestrians.
Do you think the decades-old tooting tradition has finally worn thin?
Share your thoughts on the proposed beeping ban.

Hi neighbours, do you use straws? Do you think plastic straw is not good for the environment, but paper straws will quickly become soggy in the water? Now there is a new type of straw, it is good for the environment, stay firm in the water, and with very reasonable price (even cheaper than paper … View moreHi neighbours, do you use straws? Do you think plastic straw is not good for the environment, but paper straws will quickly become soggy in the water? Now there is a new type of straw, it is good for the environment, stay firm in the water, and with very reasonable price (even cheaper than paper straws). Especially for the neighbours own a restaurant, bar or café, I think this new type straw will reduce your cost, and at the same time increase customer satisfaction. If you are interested, please reply under this post. :) Cheers Sharon

In April of this year, Kanoa Lloyd and the Graeme Dingle Foundation will be taking on a challenge and trekking through Vietnam to raise funds for the school based programmes the Foundation runs.
They're searching for a team to join them on this trip of a lifetime that will do so much to help our tamariki. If an 11 day trip through the exquisite Vietnamese country side sounds appealing to you - why not join Trek to Transform Young Lives and help kiwi kids along the way.

Three things can happen in NZ:
A total ban
Allowed on pavements at a max speed of 10km.
Allowed only on cycle lanes.
Our pavements (footpaths) are becoming a war zone.
Normal bicycles are illegal to be ridden on pavements but are.
Wheelie Bins can clog up space.
kids and others on normal scooters often use pavements at "racing" speed.
Skate boards are used on the pavement mostly at a fast clip.
Then we have the "normal" usage - pedestrians, joggers, people with prams/buggies, people walking dogs, disabled people in wheelchairs or electric chairs, people who are intoxicated. Pedestrians come in all ages and abilities - some idle, some might (have to) veer right or left. Dogs on leashes and children might take a sudden lurch right or left.
Some people want cyclists aged up to 12 and even beyond to use the pavements as of right.
People and dogs getting injured - seriously or minor on our pavements is growing at a alarming rate.
There is a war going on with footpath usage no longer just for foot traffic.
