Thames businesses and the RailTrail.
Recently a Hawkes Bay Ebike group spent time cycling the various cycle trails starting at Paeroa. Only one section had a bad review and it was very much so. This was the Paeroa to Thames section with its stupid 57 concrete judder-bar cattle stops. These were considered a "huge spoiler" being "heart in mouth" frightening. Suffice to say word of mouth in the cycling community is very negative and repeat visits highly unlikely.
It is particularly sad, because local businesses such as Tastebud Cafe, The Convenient Cow and The Wharf provide such excellent local support to visitors, only to be let down by the quality of the trail.
Yet councils utterly misguided focus is merely to place expensive artworks along the trail. Te Aroha has some wonderful artworks but these are NOT at all a focus for cyclists. It is the quality of the ride.
Thame's businesses you are being let down.

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!
