Palmerston North's dog pound run by the council isn't up to scratch.
A report showed animal welfare wasn't up to standard sparking questions from central government about the facility's responsibility to the pups.
On Wednesday the council approved a proposal to build a new $3 million facility, as the old pound could not be brought up to compliance standards.
What other standards do you think are slipping around the city?

Hi Neighbours!
I'm on the scrounge, looking for a WW2 British helmet (a "Brodie" helmet), or even a replica. I'm after one for a kit-set model project I'm planning.

I'm on the scrounge, looking for a WW2 British helmet (a "Brodie" helmet), or even a replica. I'm after one for a kit-set model project I'm planning.
If you know of anyone who's looking to get rid of one or if you know your Granddad's got one lurking in his shed and doesn't want it any more let me know.
If there's a kind soul out there willing to donate one I would be very grateful.
Mōrena kiritata,
Some patients from Eketāhuna have been allowed to go to Masterton hospital for treatment rather than drive more than double the distance to Palmerston North hospital.

Some patients from Eketāhuna have been allowed to go to Masterton hospital for treatment rather than drive more than double the distance to Palmerston North hospital.
Patients in the small southern Tararua town were being turned away by the Wairarapa District Health Board because resources are stretched in Masterton.
But there's still restrictions in place.
Do you think patients should have to travel more than an hour for care if there's a closer hospital?

We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn’t the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it’s the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.
A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 27 March - 5 April. This year’s theme is ‘Small Things Make a Big Difference’ - we couldn’t agree more!
Let us know how you’re celebrating by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:

Our waterways and all the fish and species that live in them are precious taonga, so we have set out to understand how they are valued and what should be done to provide the future we want for our water. I am also a conduit to Taranaki Whānui mana whenua on the Whaitua Committee.
Raised on our whānau farm in Wanui-o-mata, I have always been involved with supporting iwi in their freshwater projects and treaty settlement processes. As kaitiaki of the taiao, our taonga, it is incumbent upon each of us to preserve the integrity of our environment and way of life. This is a journey to save the health and mauri of our waterways, we need to fix urban water infrastructure and more ways to connect with our Wai.
We need to find solutions that are equitable and fair. Doing nothing is an option with our population growing fast and putting more pressure on our waste and storm water infrastructure.
Connect with us to talk about what we can do together. You can reach us at whaitua@gw.govt.nz. To see what we have been doing visit our Facebook page, and to share what you value about our water and your solutions have your say by following the link below.
