What do locals think about the lack of shade and the predominance of tarmac and concrete? Is this an inviting frontage to our town? Will people be inclined to stop and park in the baking heat of summer without any respite from the sun's harsh rays? And, unlike the frontage it replaces, the new development appears to lack any shady spots with tables where visitors can enjoy an snack whilst taking a break from a long journey so will people just drive on to Taupo before taking a break?
Do you think the new Leith Place will inviting to visitors or was it a shame that we've lost the shady space that we once had in the front of town?

Kahutara Primary School in Featherston is switching to LEDs. All LEDs are Gen Less bulbs as they use less energy, which ultimately helps halt climate change. If we all got on board and switched now it would make a huge difference

For the month of November, we want to raise awareness and work together to end all forms of violence including family harm, elder and child abuse, sexual assault, gang violence, and more. These victimisations affect us all and can have lasting effects that spill into our everyday lives including at work and school.
To do your part this month, perhaps consider supporting a women’s refuge or work with Police in your area to host an info night on how to identify elder or child abuse in your community. This month’s campaign also coincides with White Ribbon Day on 25 November which is an internationally celebrated day that aims to prevent violence towards women.

Hi People,
Just read in the paper about the Guy Fawkes Poll. What a load of RUBBISH ! ! ! Are you only polling like minded people? Is it age or colour descrimination?
I'm sure if I did my own poll I could come up with the opposite conclusion. GET REAL!
So disappointed with neighbourly/Stuff!

We have had a very cute pet rabbit arrive at our place in Griffiths St this morning. Our Furbaby Tygra chased it but it was too fast.
