2 b/r unit/townhouse/house

Donna from Otaki District

I am a single lady 65 yrs of age non-smoker, don’t drink and very quiet but with a disability and about to do my third shift in two years because of;
rental house was sold after living there for eleven years
The owners of the rental I was in had a serious situation which resulted in rental house being sold
The owner decided not to renew my lease so that her brother could move in

All these places were agreed that I would be there long term which the first one was and yes I know that being in a rental is not a secure position to be in.

Because my physical health is deteriorating I am looking for a long term 2 bedroom house/unit/townhouse which would be a single story place, with a shower (not one over a bath as I would not be able to get into the shower) and a garage with an auto opener as I would not be able to open the door otherwise. A garage or shed is needed to house the mobility scooter. Currently I am paying $360 a week and anything higher would be as crippling as my physical health. As I am currently in Otaki that is my first area to be thinking of but would also consider Waikanae and maybe Paraparaumu. Anything further South or North is out of the question

Please don’t tell me to apply for a council place or a housing place because I have applied for those but there are hundreds of people before me needing a roof over their heads as well and yes I look on Trade Me several times a day
Please contact me on 06 364 0192 or labrysdonna@gmail.com

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?

Marie from Waikanae

If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.

We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
