Poll: How's your hay fever?

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

New Zealand - warm, humid, stormy and grassy - is already one of the worst countries for hay fever and with the recent hot weather, it looks set to get worse with pollen and other allergens thriving in the humid conditions. Do you suffer from hay fever and if so, have you found this summer worse than usual? Let us know. Comments may be used in print unless marked NFP (not for print)

Advice please, declined house insurance cover

Jane from Pinehaven

Looking for advice please. Has anyone had any issues reinsuring their homes. Our current house insurance went up by 11.5%, so I decided to get another quote. At the end of a very long phone with Tower, they declined to insurance us, saying our property is a landslide risk. I'm on Wyndham Road in Pinehaven. While the house is up off the street, the house itself and backyard are on the flat part of our section. Now - in the interest of full disclosure - I'm going to have to tell our current insurer too. I've rung the Council to see if they've updated their hazards mapping - and they said the only update has been to the Pinehaven Overflow. Have lived in this house since 2003, and insurance has never been an issue till now. TIA
