Many of our villages are lucky to have four-legged friends like Lulu the poodle!
Lulu is a loved companion with a big personality and an even bigger routine. She’s up at 6am sharp and she never misses an outing - whether it’s a trip to the caravan, a ride in the Bunnings trolley, or even a … View moreMany of our villages are lucky to have four-legged friends like Lulu the poodle!
Lulu is a loved companion with a big personality and an even bigger routine. She’s up at 6am sharp and she never misses an outing - whether it’s a trip to the caravan, a ride in the Bunnings trolley, or even a spin on the jetski with her own life jacket!

Nobody doubts plenty of money has been set aside for work required and possibly carried out but did the rate payers get value for money??? I see the Auckland Mayor is critical of the amount spent on cones and traffic safety - $63million. This work has been reputed to double the cost. How much has the NPDC wasted on over the top cones and safety management. We cannot afford to pay for people to sit around on the posteriors. This appears to be a continuing issue and needs addressing. Concerned citizen - Charles Le Breton
