Wellington Children's Hospital Mobile Phone Appeal

Kathryn from Clouston Park - Kingsley Heights

Hi Everyone

We really want to be able to donate a lot of money to the Wellington Children's Hospital Medical Equipment Fund but need your help!!

Please donate any old/broken/unwanted mobile phones into one of the places listed in the attached flyer.

Check the back of the junk drawer/ under the bed/ in the garage, and any other place that might accumulated unwanted electronic items. We do take other e-waste items, but they will need to be dropped off at our warehouse/shop at 1 King Charles Drive, Kingsley Heights, Upper Hutt. Hours we are open are Monday - Friday 10 am - 6 pm, & Saturday 10 am - 4 pm.

Please share this post with your friends and neighbours and lets see how much we can donate to the Children's Hospital Fund.

If you would like to donate money straight to the Wellington Children's Hospital here is the link to their donations page: whf.org.nz...

Thanks

Kathryn

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.
Do you think changes need made to the current process for building consent? Share your thoughts below.

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.
