Woodend community's 10-month wait for promised traffic lights

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Traffic lights to improve school safety in Woodend will not go ahead this year – a move the local MP is calling a backtrack on a promise.

While a Woodend Bypass is not in the immediate plans, in March the NZ Transport Agency promised to improve safety on SH1 with traffic lights this year, replacing a patrolled “kea crossing”. That appears more likely to be early next year now.

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!
