At 10am I was driving to Paremata when I saw a cat laying in the road that had been hit by a car. Traffic stopped both ways and the cat was put on the footpath by Oak ave -Browns bay beach entrance.
Someone said it had died. It was black and grey tabby markings. So sorry for the owners.
The Government must recognise the financial burden that looming large-scale changes to major roads i…

Based on a true story, the play speaks of a divided world where faith is more powerful than fact and shame drives a hard bargain. The fictional injection of real Indian scientist Chandra Bose, whose world-leading research into electricity was ahead of its time, gives an Indian Ink twist to the telling. Welcome to the Murder House features comedy, puppetry, live music, song and dance to entertain and delight whilst recounting a powerful, tragic and moving tale.
Jacob Rajan returns to the stage with a stellar cast, in Indian Ink’s biggest ever extravaganza. Experience a night of naughty fun that will leave you to decide who the real villains are.
26 May – 10 June

Hey Neighbours,
They marched, sang, and stood in silence. Thousands of people gathered around the country to remember the fallen on Anzac Day. For all your Anzac coverage, click here.
The council is reviewing the way residents are represented, which it has to do every six years.
It wants feedback by Friday, 11 May.
So what would you like to see changed? Or what's going well?

In case you're interested, here is an update so far from the Ministry of Education's Deputy Secretary Sector Enablement & Support Katrina Casey.
Community engagement is an important part of our planning and something we do all the time. It’s important that we listen to communities and consider their views alongside other information- like existing schools and population projections.
We recently completed two rounds of community engagement with the Northern Porirua community and have been grateful for the feedback they’ve given us. They’ve told us they would like us to consider a new year 1 – 8 primary school located in or near the Aotea development.
We’re now reviewing all available information, including the most up-to-date demographic information for the Northern Porirua area before any final decisions are made. At the same time we are working with local schools to support them to manage their rolls.
Papakowhai School’s Board of Trustees has indicated they need to reduce the size of their school’s home zone to manage the numbers of students at the school. They’re currently consulting with their community about reducing their zone by excluding parts of the northern, eastern and southern boundaries of their current zone. Any areas removed from Papakowhai’s home zone will still be zoned for other schools. The area around Ascot Park and Aotea, for example is also zoned for Rangikura School.
Aotea College is not changing its home zone. It is however going through a significant redevelopment as a result of our around $20 million dollar investment which will provide the community with a modern, fit-for-purpose secondary school.
We’re hoping to go back out to the Northern Porirua community within the next term to update them on next steps.
