Proposal to disestablish community boards A Hutt City council independent representation review has recommended that community boards, including the Eastbourne Community Board, be disestablished. The Eastbourne Community Board believes that community boards provide an invaluable service to residents. The report argues that representation is inequitable with only three community boards in Hutt City, in Eastbourne, Petone and Wainuiomata. We believe that introducing a community board to each ward would be a better way to address this inequality. (This would see the Eastbourne and Petone Community Boards combine for Harbour Ward). The report also argues that community boards, established in 1989, are no longer relevant inRead More →

As expected, the ECB has had a busy start to the year.

This is a trial of broadcasting community information – both streaming and Low Power FM (LPFM). The information in this broadcast is synthesised and may not be up to date. This project started as Resilient Radio, an autonomous “radio station in a suitcase” (solar/battery) intended to be one channel (of several) for delivering community information, localised and timely, remotely controllable, with text-to-speech. During normal times it will provide localised useful data such as events, news, music etc.  (and including emergency preparation and resources), then in an emergency the local information can be uploaded and broadcast (local hazards, resources, requests for help etc.). This information wouldRead More →
