If so, then join Pest-Free Pinehaven. We have rat tunnels with traps available for a donation of up to $20. We’ll show you the ins and outs of setting your trap and how to register it in our online database. If you already have a trap then you can still join by registering your trap with us and contributing your catch data.
We also provide advice on trapping other pests like possums and stoats, and are working on a trap library for these more expensive traps.
We currently have 65 traps in our network. We need your help to reach our current 200 trap goal. Let’s together make Pinehaven pest free, helping make New Zealand predator free by 2050.
So email pestfree.pinehaven@gmail.com to get trapping!

They are committed to improving the mental wellbeing and happiness of all students, Preschool to Year 13, at both its campuses in Karori and Whitby.
The Visible Wellbeing approach, in partnership with Professor Lea Waters, is a framework that can be applied to every lesson and activity, academic and co-curricular.
Research has shown that taking an intentional, strategic approach to student wellbeing provides positive flow-on effects to learning outcomes, and gifts each student the skills to manage their own wellbeing, lifelong.

This means that traffic heading to SH2 will be diverted via Victoria Street and Pine Avenue, around the northeast side of the roundabout.
All traffic exiting off SH2 into Gibbons Street will be diverted at the roundabout to left-turn only into Riverbank Street and back to Gibbons Street via Pine Avenue and either Victoria Street or McParland Street.
See image below.
All shops are operating as usual, and access to shops on Gibbons St is still available by following the below alternative route (turning down Victoria St or McParland St).

The fact that they have not ground down the surface and filled the holes in preparation to reseal the whole section as one, at the same level as the rest of the road surface is a little concerning.
Does anyone know if it is to remain patched like this or is it going to be done properly, ie sealed as one section ?
Or are we going to be left with an uneven bumpy surface that we currently have, as per usual.
Sorry to say, but we drove down moonshine road by the motorway and we saw a black and white cat on the footpath that looks like it may have been hit by a car.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.
KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.
