The Long-Term Fiscal Statement just dropped. At first glance, it might seem a bit dry, but the message is pretty clear ... and a bit worrying. The big takeaway? Our financial pressures are only going to keep growing.

When you pay your WCC rates invoice, about 20-25 percent of this is GWRC rates, which, like the city council's rates, have risen sharply in recent years.
Given its range of responsibilities, GWRC should have a more prominent position in Wellingtonians' minds, but 45 years after its inception, it still has a very low profile. Most electors probably give mere lip service to their selection of GWRC candidates. Candidates are often ranked based on name familiarity or party-political advertising, meaning that prospective new and independent input is difficult to achieve.
Last chance to meet the Greater Wellington Regional Council candidates: Sunday 5 October 5pm-6.30pm, Hataitai Bowling Club, 157 Hataitai Rd. An exclusively GWRC meeting, without the "distraction" of mayoral and WCC candidates. All welcome: Come along and listen to and question candidates for GWRC.

Behind the fun is a serious mission. Many of New Zealand’s native species are in serious trouble. Bird of the Year raises awareness of their habitats, the threats they face, and how we can protect our feathered taonga. Important work that we love seeing!

Now that the weekend’s over and things have calmed down a bit, the Neighbourly Team are keen to hear from you: how are you feeling about it all?
Summer’s coming, and holidays are on the horizon … should we be focusing on the future rather than the past quarter? Or is this dip in the road a real concern?
