Kulim Park upgrade - stage one complete

Communications from Tauranga City Council

Looking for a great place to walk or bike this Labour Weekend? Check out what we’re doing at Kulim Park in Ōtūmoetai.

A new pathway along the foreshore of Kulim Avenue heading east to Harbour Drive was completed this week.

The rest of the upgrade, including a new playground, is expected to be completed in December. The existing playground will be closed from Tuesday 26 October as we swing into action on the new upgrade.

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power

Pat from Welcome Bay

Interesting responses to my post. Two in particular piqued my interest. Suzanne Williams and her comments about whinging about everything-Suzanne it is not about whinging. It is more about raising concerns about an undemocratic regime forced on us and then seeing the commissioners wanting to keep their sinecure. Greg Reardon "I vote to keep the commissioners"-Greg the point is that you do not have a vote. Look I get it-democracy is imperfect. Some of our previously elected councillors were rubbish-ego driven and feeding from the trough (not unlike our commissioners). But it is what we have got. It is better to have an imperfect democracy than an unelected and unaccountable cartel of commissioners who say "we know what is good for you".
