Alexander Road Not Entirely Closed

Michael from Trentham

Its been rumoured and even stated as fact that a section of Alexander Road will be closed to traffic coming from both directions for upwards of three months.

Well the good news for people especially living in the Wallaceville Estate is that if heading north, the road will be open 24/7.

But if heading south, a section of the Alexander Road nearest to Ward Street will be closed to traffic for a few months.

Blame this on the Gillies organisation with their housing developments on the right and on the left and roading alignments, new roundabout and T section.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
