A little bit about Sacha:
She has been working for CABNZ for 10 years and is passionate about empowering people with knowledge of their rights as well as ensuring access to justice.
She helps support the team of over 2,000 trained volunteers who deliver the CAB service in 80 neighbourhoods around Aotearoa by providing advice and support at a national level on a wide range of issues. One of Sacha’s work areas is leading the CAB’s social justice work on housing and tenancy issues.
Whether you're a flatmate, landlord, boarder or flatmate, you can leave a comment below and Sacha will share an answer on Wednesday from 9.30am. You may want to ask about notice periods, bond fulfillment, reasonable rent increases, or even whose responsibility it is to deal with mould in the home.
Join Sacha here on Wednesday at 9.30am. See you then!.

This is being done in a managed fashion over a number of months. All books on our website are reduced while we work through returning or donating books. If you are an author and have not heard from us about your books - please email us at writersplotreadersread@outlook.com
Books can still be purchased through our online store - all are reduced for sale.
We wish to thank the community for their support over the last 8 years - we have appreciated it.
Moving to a retirement village marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with opportunities waiting to be explored. Naturally, you want to share this journey with your beloved furry companion, and at Ryman, you are welcome to bring your pet along, provided they are suitable for the village … View moreMoving to a retirement village marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with opportunities waiting to be explored. Naturally, you want to share this journey with your beloved furry companion, and at Ryman, you are welcome to bring your pet along, provided they are suitable for the village environment.
Once your pet is approved for the village, the focus shifts to ensuring a smooth transition for them. Dogs and cats, being creatures of habit, may find relocating stressful. However, with patience and a thoughtful approach, we can mitigate their anxiety and help them settle into their new surroundings seamlessly.

We have the support of over 1900 people on the Petition against the UHCC's proposed 20% rates rise for the next 3 years. This is a 73% increase in our rates which equates to $30-$50 per week for most.

This is disgusting, and when you compare it with $2200 just look and potentially not even fix a water leak. It seems like our rates are going down the drain. Yet the mayor has been directed by many retired plumbers to solutions but seems to come up with the same response, "Wellington Water wont last much longer" This has been the stock response for too long. We need Action!
We would love your support to show the Council that Upper Hutt is against these massive increases. From our research we cannot see in 3 years since the last LTP why the council are needing to do increases to this level.

The petition is planned to be available until the 28th of May 2024. We will present the petition to the council, hopefully with as many signatures as we can get.
With 2 days till the extension on the Upper Hutt Council Long Term Plan submissions is up. If you want to submit you have Saturday and Sunday to make your submission on the future path of the city.

Through this process we have asked the council several questions relating to issues we have noticed and clarifications. The answers to these have not been very forthcoming. Below is a link to the questions and responses we have had with the council. Unfortunately after our last request for clarifications the council decided that they no longer wished to answer any questions and shut down the lines of communication (Stonewalled us):
Black = Our Initial Questions
Blue = Council Responses
Red = Our Last Responses
