A push to use Levin’s Māori name Taitoko has stalled and the councillor who backed the move says she’s surprised at the negative reaction to the idea.
In 2018 Horowhenua named its draft town centre strategy “Transforming Taitoko” and councillor Victoria Kaye-Simmons said it would also be nice to acknowledge the town's traditional name.
It has not featured since and Kaye-Simmons a faced backlash after speaking out.
What's the traditional Māori name for your town, and would you support its use?

Therefore needs to be an only pet.
He is getting on in years so doesn't need a lot of exercise, but does need a lot of attention. A retired person who could spend time with him would be ideal.
If you would be interested in giving Wally a better life & would like to meet him please send Paula an email.

i would lift the microwave, i do not want you to pay for a delivery fee. We went home, and i took the old microwave away and the box of the new microwave, she was delighted. These may seem like small things but as we age, things like these are not easy and should not have to cost extra. At Care 4 You if we have a solution to a problem, we will go the extra mile, and it will not cost extra. Contact Suzanne for any Caregiving / Driving / Companionship Services, Ph: 021 024 36944.

Have you heard about our Community Connects grants?
The grants help fund projects that promote the inclusion and contribution of older people in community life, and support communities to prepare for an ageing population.
The fund makes one-off grants of up to $15,000. The grants are open to any New Zealand council, community organisation, or registered non-profit organisation. Applications for our current funding round close on 9 October.
Our last funding round was a huge success and helped fund a range of different projects across the country, that had focuses like reducing loneliness and social isolation of older people, developing an age-friendly community plan and supporting people with dementia.
With the right planning and support, we can create environments where older people are valued, connected and able to participate in their community.
If you have an age-friendly project you are interested in getting funding for click here bit.ly...
Or if would like to learn more about how your community can become more age-friendly click here bit.ly...
