Wainuiomata Community Board member resigns

Andrea Blackshaw from Hutt City Council

Long-serving Wainuiomata Community Board member Margaret Willard has today resigned and a by-election will be required to find her replacement on the 8-strong Board.

Margaret Willard has served over 10 years in local politics, first as deputy chair and chair of the Wainuiomata Community Board, followed by two terms representing Wainuiomata on the Hutt City Council. She has decided to end her current three year term as a member of the Wainuiomata Community Board on medical grounds.

As the next triennial local elections in October 2019 are more than 12 months away, a by-election is required. Nominations will open this week and close at noon on Thursday 21 June. Election day will be Friday 17 August 2018.

For further information: Electoral Officer, Bruce Hodgins, T: 04 570 6839

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
