Junk mail - recent post

The recent post ....
"Poll: Do you support a by-law banning junk mail? Public
Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

... has had replies disabled but I wish to shed a bit more light on the topic:"

A 'Eureka' moment:
I have just found a message hidden in the depths of my inbox - from our local council.
Seems this issue involves the entire Wellington region .. not just Wellington City.
Known as ... 'The Proposed Solid Waste Management and Minimisation Bylaw'.
And every local council will have to create a 'plan'.
The Junk Mail issue is only a very small component of the entire plan.
Perhaps you could check your local council website for info relating to your area.

FAMILY OF POTHOLES

Michael from Trentham

Not the biggest pothole in NZ but Alexander Road in Trentham has one of its round-abouts with a family of potholes on the roading making it difficult to avoid them.

The Upper Hutt City Council was quick and ridiculous to reduce the speed limit of all Alexander Road from 80kg to 50kg but not so quick to repair this multiple of potholes.

I must not hold my breath because nearly 4 years ago I held a discussion with the UHCC roading chief on the appalling state of the busy Ward Street road in Wallaceville and he agreed but asked me which would you prefer - fixing up Fergusson Drive or Ward Street as a priority. Well nothing has been done either to Fergusson Drive.

I am hoping the new Government with its plans to reverse some speed restrictions and introduce reducing speed restrictions on some roads, will prompt the UHCC to wake up their ideas of Alexander Road which in most part is non urban residential housing.
