I need to change my email and phone no but I can hardly understand the person on the other end of the phone line and the instructions seem to involve clsoing my account!!!!!
I have a new phone number and want to change my email address but cannot do both at once!
When did the Carter Society stop being a friendly society and become a business?
Have they disincorporated and given themselves share parcels?
The manager has interposed herself between the residents and the owners and there is no way of contacting the owners without her reading my mail.
The last time I complained she denied ever having received my letter.
The fact of the matter is that the gardner (sic) has no qualifications at all and the trees in question are not part of the communal gardens but have been there since Porritt Place was first established and were planted to give shade and respite to the residents.
Cutting them down for firewood for the employees was reprehensible and the ird should be alerted to the fringe benefits tax. 5 loads of firewood at $300 a load is a nice little perquisite
This manager has already had one go at me via the Tenancy Disputes Tribunal because I objected to indiscriminate spraying around the property and I would welcome another opportunity to present a case and have these people stand up in a court and defend their actions.
It is supposedly owned by the community but they never publish any notice of meetings and it is impossible to contact them [the carter society] without correspondence being opened by the staff at the rest home.
When I complained to the manager when the gardener tried to assault me she denied ever receiving the letter!
this weekend I was slandered and sworn at by the groundsperson but there is no recourse if the mail is opened by the staff and any complaints disposed of in the circular file
apparently I am a shit person, the other residents are shit people, porritt place is an all round shithole and I am a pervert and this particular person "knows" all about me!!!!!
If this isn't bad enough I have been talking to residents of the home who say the place has taken on a very bad atmosphere since the new manager was appointed without the job being advertised.
It also appears that the Manager has been appointed without their credentials or bona fides being examined!
things can only get worse.
Carter Court has almost ceased to be a rest home but more an income stream for management and anybody who gets in the way will be disposed of.

I live in what is supposed to be a protected environment.
It used to be owned by the Carterton District Council but they ended up selling it to The Carter Society for $1.
People come and people go. Either by ambulance, hearse or next door into the home.
The manager of the rest home was plucked from toastmasters because somebody liked her and given the gig for which she is entirely unsuited and it appears her credentials and bona fides were never investigated.
She rules by fear aided and abetted by sneaks and tattle tales. Apparently the atmosphere in the home has really tanked.
Nobody likes her and they dont like the woman employed to mow the lawns who basically is an enforcer if you know what I mean. When she abused one of the residents and the manager just swept it under the carpet. hmmmmmmmmmm.
I have seen quite a few come and go from the other half of my unit but the latest is a cro magnon and when he moved in the first thing he said was he wanted to get rid of the tree outside his place!
This guy told me that when he moved into a rented home in Wainuiomata the first thing he did was remove all the rose bushes on the property.
There was a lovely lavender bush in the margin around his place and when he knew I liked it he killed it!
To cut a long story short the mower woman was suborned into telling the manager that the two trees needed to come down because they were lifting the concrete pavement and the footpath needed smoothing. So how do you smooth out a raised pavement? It may be that the footpath needed remedial work but that would be the decision of a qualified person. Anybody in the world is at liberty to come and look for themselves. Furthermore if work of this nature was to be carried out then the pavement would have to be totally removed and then relaid and then then any roots could have been excised at that point rather than felling the trees themselves.
This whole episode is a sorry travesty of management that really have no idea except to help themselves to a very large load of free firewood with a whole load of spurious excuses.
She got the go ahead with no engineers report and managed a nice little earner for her and her husband at a days pay for both plus four loads of free firewood @ $300 a load thats $1200 clear and free. Would this encourage fringe benefit tax?
Talking to the shit people of porritt place (her words) the decison was made some time ago but I was never informed.
This is a terrible act of vandalism and philistinism when global warming is rampant and every tree counts.
I get 2 birthdays every year
went to peel a couple of spuds for my tea and the spud peeler is gone.
someone had a key to my unit a while back and used to come into my unit and re-arrange things!
and whaddaya know joe the spud peeler is gone
just like that. is the mystery mangler back or was it a crime of opportunity when a certain person was admitted to my unit
you have to watch it in these small towns.
some of the people with high opinions of themselves and too tight underpants think they can mess you around when ever they get the chance.
Like this morning walking down the main street and mr big shit parked his bike on the footpath and then came at me as I was walking along!!! I never budged and he gave way. I dont think he liked the idea of being hauled before the beak for assault. damm. was looking forward to hiring the local rumpole.
see the fact of the matter is if you live in a small town and dont have a car then you are at the mercy of the noo noo heads who can fuck you over in myriad small ways and get away with it.
please respond in writing and telling the management at Carter Society, 87 Pembroke Street, Carterton, what you think.
HOw do you like that?
why have you allowed the maintenance staff to slaughter the japanese silk trees in porritt place.
who ga ve the nod to this ?
today was woken up to the sound of a blunt chainsaw slaughtering the japanese silk trees in our street by two people who have no idea what they are doing.
Those trees have been here for a long time and on a whim they have been declared surplus by the nincompoops who are not that stoopid that they don't get 8 free trailerloads of firewood and a days wages x 2 for committing this atrocity.
