ANZAC Service. Tuakau

Murray & Sh'ann from Tuakau

Once again this excellent service has been overlooked by most media.
I suspect Waikato District Councils poor communications to be at fault.
Certainly the best ANZAC parade and service I have ever attended.
Be at the Tuakau Town Hall tomorrow at 11.00 am. Bring a hankie.

Have your power prices gone up?

Electric Kiwi

Households are being told to shop around for better power deals as some power companies lifted their prices in April. On the flip side, smaller companies like Electric Kiwi won't be raising power prices this year and are challenging the big power companies to do the same.

The team at Franklin County News hope you all had a great Easter.
I certainly did, exploring rural Franklin with the family, on a road trip through Waingaro to Raglan on sunny Easter Monday, which followed an outing to the picturesque Awhitu lighthouse at the tip of the Manukau Heads the day before.
Both are beautiful spots, and we enjoyed stunning drives getting to our coastal destinations on our Easter weekend adventures.
We have another short week this week - and next, with Anzac Day on Tuesday, April 25.
The district has a proud history in acknowledging our war time heroes and each year the local RSAs do a fabulous job paying tribute to those who sacrificed so much. We’ll have full coverage of Anzac events online next week and in print on Thursday.
*To accommodate the public holiday on Tuesday, we are publishing on Monday next week.
Cheers, Julie :)
