“WE’D FIX THE HYDRANTS, BUT THAT WOULD BE WORK”
While Eastbourne burns, the real emergency is finding a second cushion for the council’s chaise lounge. Volunteer heroes fight fire with dribbles—while leadership fans itself and sips vintage denial.

For Eastbourne and the whole Hutt City, pay attention. When was the last time your council, water authority or national fire service checked that fire hydrant 'hatch' near your house? Is it broken, overgrown, filled with dirt and rubbish?
A recent investigation highlighted the neglect. Your volunteer firefighters are screaming for you to get of your butts and tell you elected representatives to to get this issue resolved NOW!
It take minutes for a house to become engulfed in a fire, so each second your local volunteers spend unblocking a fire hydrant connection could be a life and death situation.

"Eastbourne Joins the Māori Roll
(Sort Of)

MEGA News | 31 March 2025

In a surprise twist worthy of a soap opera, Eastbourne might be added to the Māori electorate of Ikaroa-Rāwhiti under proposed boundary changes. The move would shift 3300 locals (and their compost bins) into an electorate that currently stretches all the way up to Ruatoria.
Before you clutch your pearls: this only affects Māori voters on the Māori roll. If you're not on it, your vote stays exactly where it is.
So, what changes?
You might notice more Māori political engagement, new perspectives on local issues, and maybe the odd hui down at the RSA.
Public feedback opens in June. Until then, feel free to wildly speculate over coffee.
