Getting our rhythm back!

We've been a little quiet over the past week... we needed time to adjust to being back at work!

Tuesday 14th was our first meeting at Trinity Union Church.

Finnian answered his question, "Anthro-what?" in a most educational way; Dianne brought to life the exploits of Amy Bock; Victoria captivated us with her character reading in Katherine Mansfield's "The Dolls' House"; and Norbert enlivened the topic of personality testing with his usual humour.

We'll be back next Tuesday, 28 January, into the swing of 2020....join us and start ticking off your New Year's resolutions

Louise Askin - Whaitua Te Whanganui-a-Tara Committee

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

Kia ora koutou, I’m Louise from Makara, and a co-chair of the Whaitua Te Whanganui-a-Tara Committee.

We are a community committee tasked with making recommendations to Greater Wellington Regional Council and our city councils on the future of water quality and its use in Wellington, Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt (our Whaitua). Our waterways are precious and our water networks (freshwater, wastewater and stormwater) are vital for our community’s wellbeing. Recently, we have been learning about the state of water in our area and gathering community input on how water is valued and what should be done to look after it.

I live with my family beside the Makara Stream and we follow its path each day, winding from the beach up toward the headwaters above Makara Village or Ohariu. Our rural communities value their waterways and we want their input on how to best achieve reductions of sediment and pathogens in our rural areas. In town, there is a huge job ahead in upgrading the piped water networks and lessening our three cities’ impact on water quality - while also planning for population growth. Our region must meet national water quality requirements within a few years so we want to find solutions that reflect our communities’ views and are informed by good evidence and information.

Get in touch with us to give us your thoughts. You can reach us at whaitua@gw.govt.nz. To see what we have been doing visit our Facebook page. To share what you value about our water and your solutions, have your say here.

Weed problem on wire mesh street railing!

Ingrid from Brooklyn

I assume mesh is being used to save repair costs. Also, possibly traditional timber street railing is now not considered safe? The mesh is fast attracting large swathes of weeds as it the perfect surface for climbing on!.... How is the council going to control the weeds from covering the mesh?....Increase the amount of weed spraying? Also, surely repainting the timber beneath the mesh could be problematic? Simply repairing the existing timber railing would be the best option and adding in more timber rails (if safety is a problem). Wellington's traditional timber street railing is worth saving ....and looks far better than wire mesh.
Note: One photo shows how a mesh area has now become an ivy hedge!.

Hello everybody, does anyone have a tent for two people I could borrow from the 19th of January for a couple of weeks?
My partner and I would like to go to the South Island and it would be great if we didn't have to buy a new one (and we wouldn't consider buying a super cheap one because they tend to not last long and it quickly becomes unnecessary rubbish).
Thank you!

Stuff Electric Bike Promotion

Rob from Island Bay

On three days now I have entered the code word and had a response that claimed incorrectly that my entry was unsuccessful as I had already entered.
I suspect it is probably a fault in the computer programme.
Has anyone else had this experience?
