Two of my favourite things! Shelley Bay & Wgtn Mayoralty

Phil from Eastbourne

Two of my favourite things!
As anyone who knows me or has followed my media comments and posts over recent times, you will know that I have championed the move to make Shelley Bay come alive again in education, recreation, hospitality etc BUT NOT AS A RESIDENTIAL ZONE... The Enterprise Miramar original vision document which I wrote over a decade ago still stands as a core direction on what should be developed on the Peninsula so I support the move to stop the commercial hijacking by Lester and his developer partners and favour an incoming council under new leadership to resolve the many issues surrounding this area. AND THEN....... everyone know I put up $10,000 for someone to challenge Justin Lester in Wellington's Local Body Elections this year. So was most excited to be at the Launch of a bid to run against the most destructive mayoralty in the region by Councillor ANDY FOSTER. He has 100% of my support! He understands how to work and make Wellington function, is not a slave to political parties control and wants better relationships with neighbouring cities in the region. Something that has deteriorated sadly in recent times. If I am elected onto Hutt City Council he is a leader I and I know others can work with in areas of mutual interest.
So yesterday was special when to areas I have highlighted in my quest to make the whole region better happily collided in one place. Joined by Iwi who I have supported in their quest for fairness and Peter Jackson and other locals, I wish Andy Well, he has a really battle on his hands but now there is a fight and change.

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.
