Three Waters and re-fund of money charged that is no longer needed.

Charles from Lynmouth - Moturoa

As speculation rises about Three Waters my more immediate concern is when Council is going to refund money charged for up-grades that are no longer ratepayers responsibility. Allowing for inflation that would appear to be at least 10% of our current rates. Wishful thinking perhaps but if we are going to get stung by the government for up-grades why should we have to pay twice. This is not to mention the other 80% rise that the Council has foreshadowed.

On Three Waters itself did you hear the Scottish gentleman talking about the plans. Seems really scary to me and an absolute recipe for disaster. Whenever I hear that word corporate or others similar I am reminded of the fiasco we call our power infrastructure and they are still crying poverty even after pocketing billions of $s over the ;last 25 years.

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!
