Eastbourne-Day Bay: Upgrade asap.

Phil from Eastbourne

Shopping list item for Local Body Elections 2019:
Is it not time to have a set plan for Eastbourne< Days Bay and the other Bays to eliminate all the old phone and power posts and lines? Why should only the main roads and 'select' streets have their utilities delivered under ground. If the latest deadline for Chorus to lay the remaining fibre is end 2019.... then why at the same time cannot the other vital services be also incorporated economically (and for the inconvenience factor) at the same time!
We pay the same rates (high) as those who have only the street lights showing above ground yet the Community Board and Council haven't made the commitment and focused on Central Hutt and Petone.
Adequate footpaths, curbs and drainage are all in serious need of repair and upgrading. Is the apathy going to continue?
When the cycle way / boardwalk and wharves are all getting attention, it make sense to use a 'do-it-once' approach to do the work.
Interested in comments and your support to push the community board and council to so it is a major item for your vote in 2019.

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!
