new years eve again
is everyone aware that our beloved council have an amnesty on noise
and parties tonight from 6pm till 2am again
after the last 2 years of no sleep on new years eve from parties that
are extremely noisy 1 last year was 2 streets away
I have no recourse with a council who are supposed to be there for
everyone not just a minority
luckily this year I don't have to work tomorrow, after no sleep as the
nosie never stopped till 6am
I feel really sad for anyone sick elderly. or with small babies having
to tolerate this from a few who are given free reighn to do what they
like and disturb others.
last year rang at 2am phone lines were already clogged and no officer came till 4 am the first time, so they are busy and are ignoring a large
part of the population
please voice your concerns to your local councillor like I did last year
rang the list of councillors at 4am, they make the rules they got
diturbed

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!
