HALLOWEEN has moved!!!!!!!!!!
You may know us from Maungatapu (Tutauanui private lane) but you'll now find us down at the bottom of Stableford Drive in Pyes Pa.... spread the word - come and see us if you can.
——————————🎃—————————
Being a Canadian living in NZ, I not only celebrate and decorate, but I encourage Halloween for all ages. I grew up trick or treating and absolutely LOVED it. It’s a fun night for everyone involved. I was so happy to have so many kids last year - apple bobbing was a monster smash!!!!
If you’re a parent looking to take your kids out, bring them by for a treat!! I have chocolate - and this year something different up my sleeve for kids with awesome costumes (I love the effort put in)! For you adults - bring your travel mug for some halloWINE. If it doesn’t go I’ll be forced to eat and drink it all myself - not ideal with summer on the way!!
See you THURSDAY night!! 🎃👻😈🌛👹 PM me if you need more details!
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power
That's the Stuff headline. I have watched on as these commissioners proselytize about how they respect democracy-and now this. I acknowledge Simeon Brown has rejected their proposal but all I see is these commissioners trying to cling on to power and their sinecure at all costs. It is unbelievable-they should be ashamed. Ms Tolley (who does not live here), Mr Selwood who gets flown up from god knows where, and the other two-spare me the platitudes about how they are only here for the benefit of Tauranga. No you are not. You are paid to impose what you think we want. What is that? An oligarchy? Democracy is not perfect but far better than what you propose. To completely misquote Bertrand Russell-let the people think. By the way Mr Rutherford (my absent aka missing in action BoP MP) if you can deign to read this-show some mettle.
Poll: Does the building consent process need to change?
We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.
