Why is it gone?

Editor,

I am writing to you about the Porirua News paper. I am living in Porirua East and I have not had this newspaper for about five or six months.

I ring up about it once or twice a fortnight. I get fobbed off about it being the distributor’s fault, well it is not them at all. The paper was stopped to the Porirua East. Why? No one knows, I cannot get an answer.

The paper goes to Plimmerton, up to Whitby and why, I don’t know, because half of them do not want to belong to Porirua. Also Tawa gets the paper and they belong to Wellington.

What the hell is going on? Do they think the people of the East are all yobbos and can’t read? Come on readers, ring up and complain. We want our paper back. NEVILLE THOMAS, Waitangirua.

(Letter abridged) obvious plan or purpose, while the council-owned Cable House in Titahi Bay continues to remain unused.

Also, the council has increased its allocation of funds for the City Centre Revitalisation project to $19 million. While I applaud the council’s desire to control spending, I believe they should be considering reducing the big-ticket, future-focused items, which are primarily aimed at attracting people who are not even current ratepayers to live in Porirua, so that they can maintain current services appropriately.
