UPPER HUTT CITY LIBRARY

Jan from Ebdentown

I note that the Library will reopen soon in its own purpose built building, owned by us. Books are a costly asset that require specific climate controlled conditions to stop books rotting and being eaten by a variety of insects etc. So any talk of rehousing them anywhere but a purpose built environment is just a nonsense.
Our Current Mayor and Council have proven to me that they are less than honest, twist and withhold information to the point of my legally compelling them to give it to me and also tried to redefine the meaning of research.
I have little to no confidence that they might put the Library back to straight forward shelving and genre separation or abandon the so called "philosophical trend" so favoured by M. Read.
Please make your individual voices heard, be counted a txt or email is all it takes to have your say.
Democracy is not a spectator sport, it is interactive, life changing, you pay for it, make it work for you and have a say.

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
