Playgroup restarting Tuesday 23 July in Island Bay
We've enjoyed a break over the school holidays and we are back open again from 9.00am on Tuesday. This is a small, drop-in Playgroup, no fees, just a koha. We provide teas and coffee, plus some nibbles for everyone, plus the chance for a chat with other caregivers and parents. Great as a pre-cursor for your child to play centre or Kindy. We have masses of educational and experiential toys encouraging mental and physical development. We are on the no 1 and 29 bus routes and the stops are right outside so very easy access, and we have plenty of parking spaces available in Humber Street.
Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Constable Street car wash rip off!
Hi, today I went to the Constable Street car wash that's beside the petrol station. After depositing $6 for three different rinse cycles I discovered that there was no water pressure for any of them. I had just foamed my car so I had to drive around and join the que again to use the left car wash....this time I discovered that $2 only rinses half of my small Suzuki Swift whereas $2 used to rinse the whole car nicely. Two or three weeks ago I encountered the same 'no water pressure' problem there. I imagine that people will be depositing $2 coins to no avail in a continuous stream. It appears that the owner doesn't care about providing a proper service to to their paying customers.
