Wakefield Specialist Centre Newtown - warning it's difficult to find!

Charlotte from Khandallah

Just a shout out to anyone with a referral to the above in Newtown - it's difficult to find (or at least we found it so). Luckily we had just enough time to get there for an ultrasound scan but the referral form didn't give a street address and we don't have smartphones. We drove up and down Rintoul St and around the block, and in the end asked help from a helpful pedestrian - it was on the other side of the road and back several metres. There was new fencing and an impressive block building but no signage whatsoever to indicate what the building was. We've been there several times for ultrasounds and X-rays but it was nothing like we remembered. The receptionist told us we weren't unique and she had many similar comments from others with the same complaint and asked us to fill in a feedback form which we did. (And a smartphones wouldn't have helped either!)

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
