Oaklands Canine Choral Society

John from Halswell

It's Christmas time, and once again residents at the top end of Dunbars Road are treated to a cacaphony of barking and howling from the early hours of the morning until the sun goes down.
There are also a few solo artists who belt out soulful melodies in the middle of the night.
This reaches a crescendo at breakfast time and again late afternoon- just when it would be great to enjoy the summer out on the patio. It's bad enough indoors - outdoors is just unpleasant!
With Awatea Gardens reaching completion in the next couple of months, the Oaklands Kennels are now well and truly in the middle of a residential area.
Can anyone explain to me how open kennels can be allowed to operate here? Surely this does not comply with zoning regulations?

Some Choice News!

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!
