Do you have, or know someone with, a little bit of land that might suit a tiny home?
I'm looking to set up an 8m x 2.5m home (all consented on its own trailer, with solar power) between May-September. Would love to exchange for gardening or similar, but open to paying rent if required.

Symptoms include splotchy colourful marks, usually starting on your tamariki then quickly spreading to your toes... fingers... all limbs, and in some cases the face. ("Facial Playcentre Toe" is often not picked up for hours and hours until after you've been shopping and you're wondering why people have been looking at you weirdly all day). "Playcentre Toe" is very infectious, and there is no cure...once you have the Playcentre Bug, there's no looking back. Feel free to add pics of your own "Playcentre Toe" outbreaks. We encourage you to come along to your local Playcentre and get your splotches...before they get you. Paekākāriki centre is open Mon, Tues, Weds and Fri 9.15 - 11.45 Please spread this important health message to those you love! 😉

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

As we age, the risk of having a fall increases. Those over the age of 65 have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall and those over 80 it’s 1 in 2.
Having a fall can be devastating and can often result in a broken bone, which is painful and can take a long time to heal stopping us from doing the things we love.
The good news is that many falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer aims to help reduce the risk of having a fall so we can live an independent and active life.
Having good strength and balance is key to staying on your feet. You can find approved community strength and balance classes in your area and practical information, advice, and resources on reducing the risk of falls.
Live Stronger for Longer and join the movement today.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQSC, MOH and your local community health providers.

This council is about halfway through its term already. So how do you think Mayor Mike Tana is doing for his first term?
Or what about your councillors perhaps?
