WELLINGTON CITY COUNCIL TO CLOSE CAB'S BY DECEMBER

It was with incredulity and mounting anger that I read the DomPost article (1st June) about the pending closure of CAB's in the Wellington area.

Well done Brian Davis, Jill Day and the unidentified Council Staffer who are "absolutely confident" that they have made the right decision. Absolute spurious drivel to defend "cost cutting" and closure of an organisation that has provided thousands of Wellingtonians with professional advise/guidance, advocacy and support in dealing with many toxic and bureaucratic organisations such as Work and Income, ACC, Housing NZ and the Council. Fortuitously, well trained volunteers also provide invaluable assistance for a diverse range of issues in more positive circumstances. Priceless volunteers and staff have been kicked in the guts.



Readers may wish to go online to www.cab.org.nz... and read the CABNZ submission on Local Government (Community Wellbeing Amendment Bill 2018 (May 2018). This is just one of many submissions that the CAB make on behalf of those who are less fortunate requiring professional advocacy.



The Council spend more than $250,000 annually on staff "perks", travel etc, but cannot sustain this amount to continue the operation of five Wellington branches of the CAB beyond December 2018. It is obvious that vulnerable people in our community are considered inconsequential

Samaritans is turning Blue Monday into Brew Monday on 18 June, by encouraging people to get together for a cup of tea and a chat, which is a great way to connect with people and improve your mental health.
We live in an age where people communicate by text or online rather than sitting down and having a proper two way conversation with each other. Brew Monday is about encouraging people to take the time to really talk and connect with people in a meaningful way.
Workplaces up and down New Zealand are being encouraged to stage Brew Monday tea and chat events to raise funds for Samaritans life-saving helpline service too, so that for people who feel they have nowhere else to turn, we can always be there.
To support Samaritans text HOPE to 5785 to donate $3 or get together with friends or work colleagues for a cuppa and share your moment on social media using the hashtag #NZBrewMonday.

no 14 bus - council still refuses reinstate service

Marian from Roseneath

While councillors Kedgley and Blakely have been helpful and worked to ensure Roseneath and Hataitai kids can get to Kilbirnie schools once the no 14 route to Rongotai is discontinued, GRWC and Metlink still refuse to consider a compromise and continue the service to Kilbirnie or Rongotai as is … View moreWhile councillors Kedgley and Blakely have been helpful and worked to ensure Roseneath and Hataitai kids can get to Kilbirnie schools once the no 14 route to Rongotai is discontinued, GRWC and Metlink still refuse to consider a compromise and continue the service to Kilbirnie or Rongotai as is currently the case. Metlink are using inaccurate data, ignoring the peak hour use, and while they have said they still have the ability to reinstate the service they refuse to. Thank you to those who appeared before the transport committee on 9 May. Most councillors were interested in our issues but I felt Cr Barabara Donaldson's behaviour was inappropriately aggressive toward us especially when some of our party were clearly nervous and tearful. Metlink staff were I thought also unexpectedly rude and dismissive when we were polite. Our petition has been ignored too. Anyone interested in keeping the number 14 might be best placed emailing the transport committee chair Barbara.Donaldson@gw.govt.nz. We are also asking our kids to collect bus use stats this week to email to the council. I may be naive but I still think the council should be meeting our needs and listening to us!
