WoF alert - Vehicle inspector suspended from issuing WoFs

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The NZ Transport Agency has immediately suspended Manurewa Auto and Tyre Centre and Rosary Limited (trading as Carbine Automotives in Mount Wellington) from issuing Warrants of Fitness.

Due to the concerns around the inspection practices of these vehicle inspectors, there is a strong possibility that some vehicles may have been incorrectly passed.

For this reason, NZTA strongly encourages people who have a current Warrant of Fitness issued from either the Manurewa Auto and Tyre Centre or Rosary Limited (trading as Carbine Automotives) to get their vehicles rechecked as soon as possible.

The NZ Transport Agency will contact all 2607 affected vehicle owners individually as soon as possible to advise them on recheck options. Vouchers will be provided and will be valid for six months from the date of issue. Read more here

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
