Anzac Day - Brief Road Closure - Surrey Street

Patrol Coordinator from Tawa Community Patrol

Our community patrollers will conduct a short road closure on Surrey Street, near the intersection of Main Road at around 9.40am tomorrow morning, Tuesday 25 April.

This is to allow the Tawa ANZAC parade to walk from the New World carpark, down to the RSA on Oxford Street, and shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes.

Following the parade itself, there will be a service at the RSA end of Oxford Street. This end of Oxford Street will also be closed to vehicles.

Please respect the closures that will be in place, and take an alternate route if you need to travel in this vicinity. In some cases, you may need to park your vehicle, and walk to where you need to get to.

This is a Tawa community commemoration, and the public are most welcome to march in the parade, attend the service and pay tribute on this special day of remembrance, and join in the RSA clubrooms for a light morning tea afterwards.

Some Choice News!

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!
