Wasp wipeout - can you help?

The Team from Wasp Wipeout

Last summer we embarked on an ambitious project to make a dent in the wasp population in the Nelson region. We fundraised and were able to lay 390km of bait lines in some of the region's most popular recreational areas, effectively making 10,000 hectares wasp free.

This summer we are delighted to announce we are expanding the programme to other parts of the country which are also affected by high wasp numbers. Vespex is laid in bait stations in late January and February when wasps change to a protein-based diet. It is of low toxicity and safe for bees. Results from last summer showed it has a 95%-99% success rate.

While a small amount of work is Government funded, we're going to raise more funds to get as many areas baited as possible, and we need your help. Go to our Popshop page to contribute to a wasp-free region

So join us in the battle. The more we raise the more areas we can cover.

A $560 million monorail system could be the answer to Tauranga's traffic woes, council has been told.

The Transport Committee received a presentation from SkyCab director Hugh Chapman who pitched the public transport concept.

SkyCabs differ from the traditional monorail in that small, driverless cars are suspended beneath a beam suspended eight to metres above the city streets.

Stations would be located every 750 metres to one kilometre of the line with existing buildings being utilised to house stations.

It’s Christmas… and someone is missing

Alistair from Bay Cremation Care

Christmas is a season of good cheer and precious family time. But for some, the joy of Christmas can be overshadowed by the sad memories of someone close who is no longer there. There may be one less stocking hanging on the mantle, and one less place set at the table.

Christmas is a season of good cheer and precious family time. But for some, the joy of Christmas can be overshadowed by the sad memories of someone close who is no longer there. There may be one less stocking hanging on the mantle, and one less place set at the table.

There is something you can do. If you know someone who has suffered a loss, get in touch with them this Christmas; give them a call, invite them around for dinner or drop in with some homemade baking. Show them you care… because it’s Christmas.

Our team at Bay Cremation Care would like to thank everyone on Neighbourly for being a valued part of our community and for supporting our business this year. Have a joyous and safe festive season.
