Poll: Should Southland and Gore District Councils merge?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Former Southland Federated Farmers president Allan Baird has called on the Southland District Council to consider a merger with Gore District Council.

While the division of the district into five wards was a reasonable approach in the short-term, Baird said it was an "anomaly" that not all of the Southland Province was represented.

Having 12 councillors responsible for the whole of the Southland province would be more appropriate, Baird said.

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!
