Piers has been following the money that should have been ringfenced from a legal settlement over Wairarapa Hospital building defects.

The Wairarapa Resource Centre, which sells secondhand goods,  and repurposes and recycles items, has experienced a raft of break-ins this year.

The latest CCTV footage shows a thief wearing very loose trousers prompting the centre's manager to say "He needs a bit of pride to pull his pants up". 

And a new gallery on Eketāhuna's main street is keen to showcase local artists.
