HOONS ON QUEEN
11pm Saturday night i hear a vehicle revving, speeding and doing handbrake skids down Queen Street, onto Belle Vue and round the block twice before BANG!!!! I wnet for a walk to Richmond Ave to find a souped up four wheel drive rammed into the side of several parked cars.
My point is, Queen Street has become a "racetrack" between Stafford Road and Onewa Road for people coming from the city high on alcohol and drugs using it as a "shortcut" to Onewa Road, not to mention the commuter traffic thinking it's a shortcut to!!! Maritme Parade has an OVERABUNDANCE of speed bumps...when is Queen Street, between Stafford Road and Onewa road going to get some to stop these bloody hoons!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
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!
