Tiny homes manufacturer rallying the troops for a hikoi to the steps of Parliament
A convoy of mobile homes is set to hit the streets of Wellington to call for urgent government legislation for tiny homes.
North Canterbury-based fabricator Colin Wightman has supported several tiny home owners who have had to go before the courts, and is now heading a hikoi to the steps of Parliament.
He said it was necessary to take such extreme action because people's health and wellbeing was being affected by over-zealous councils, with no solutions coming from the Government or the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

Chickenwire needed
Hi. I need about 8 sq metres of chicken wire. If you have some lying around that you don't need, I'm happy to take it off your hands, deliver a boot full of recyclables to the tip or pay a bit for it. Please let me know. Thanks.
