Free concerts at Tupare Gardens this weekend
Members of the Taranaki Symphony Orchestra will be playing in the Tupare Gardens this weekend as part of the Garden Festival.
The forecast is for a lovely sunny weekend so this is a wonderful opportunity for the whole family to spend an hour or two wandering around a fabulous garden and to hear some beautiful music - all for free.
The icing on the cake (pun intended) is that members of the orchestra are providing tea, coffee and home made cakes at a very nominal charge.
Come and enjoy......

HOUSING CRISIS FORUM, THURSDAY 18th APRIL
That's Tomorrow!!!
Don't forget to go along to the forum and hear what the NPDC and (hopefully) our government are planning for this area.
We still have people living in emergency housing in New Plymouth!!
Every day more and more people are living in their cars and living rough. Not because they want to, but because housing/power/food/life has become so expensive they can no longer afford to rent or get their own home.
What is to be done? Come along to the NPDC Debating Chamber at 9.30am and see if we can get some answers
