Upper Hutt: Wider Community Connectivity

Hi all,
This format has been suggested by the Neighbourly Team, with Elesha's endorsement, as a method to include the whole Upper Valley when the need arises to be a united voice. Am hoping to get this up and running as a method to unite when necessary, and to keep everyone involved when it comes to topics or events beyond individual communities.
I would be grateful if a Lead from each of our 17 neighbourhoods could step forward as an 'Official' (don't like that word, but ....) to help oversee the process, ensure it stays on track, and becomes an extension of individual Noticeboards.
It would have been great to have it for the Recycling Survey, but now we can move forward.
One can reach this by clicking on the 'Organisations' section on the green header toolbar, or respond via this message.
Thanks in anticipation
Sandra

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.

BLACKHAWK CORGI RACES SUNDAY NOV 17

Michael from Trentham

Who is the fastest Corgi in NZ?

This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.

Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.

Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.

The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.

Spectators very welcome to this sixth annual championship organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club.
