Public Transport in Thames

Denis from Thames

Yesterday I presented the case for a public transport service in Thames to the Thames Community Board. More detail on my blog here - teggtalk.wordpress.com... and a copy of the presentation is attached also

I received a very receptive hearing from the Board members and District Councillors present. It will now be up to the politicians to decide whether Thames will have a public transport service. If you support the proposal then I would urge you to contact all of the board members, local councillors, and the mayor. Their email addresses and phone numbers can be found on the Thames-Coromandel District Council website.

The proposal is for a 15 seater minibus hourly service commencing at 9 AM with six circuits of the town, the last at 2 PM – Monday to Friday. The service is targeted at the elderly and others who do not have access to a vehicle. The proposed route would commence at Bupa/Tararu, divert into Moanataiari, then into the CBD/Goldfields, past the hospital. From there the service would go south down Pollen Street, then loop up into hill suburbs, down Brunton Crescent and out to Parawai/Booms/Bupa and back more directly through Banks Street and Rolleston Street to the CBD.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
