Green Bay street surprises 6-year-old after birthday party cancelled

Josephine Franks Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, a Green Bay street has thrown a lovely surprise for a little boy's birthday during lockdown.

Thirty houses on the street decorated with balloons and left out happy birthday messages for 6-year-old Jim Buckton's birthday on Tuesday.

His mum said he was "very, very excited": "Imagine a pogo stick going up and down."
