Another update from Thames Coromandel District Council

Julie Kaio Reporter from Hauraki Herald

Roading and weather update 11.30am


TCDC Roads:

Wentworth Valley Road, Whangamata - surface water flooding - 4x4 & trucks only
Avalon Place, Whangamata - slip - limited access
Rangihau Road, Coroglen - road wash out - road closed
NZTA Roads:

SH25 bypass road, Whangamata - slips - road still closed.
We've got our contractors out and about clearing slips and debris.

Remember kerbside collections (blue bags only) for Coromandel Town and surrounds that didn't happen on Wednesday because of the bad weather will be collected tomorrow (Saturday) instead.

Meanwhile there's power outages currently at Opito, Otama and Kuaotunu which should be resolved by lunchtime today.

The weather is overcast right now but no heavy rain. Metservice are saying more rain for later tonight, but not as much as what we've experienced in the last couple of days.

So just take care driving those roads and check the weather on the way but the Coromandel is open for visits.

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!
