Loan scheme allows every girl her "Cinderella" moment

Annette Lambly-Robinson Reporter from Whangārei Leader

A kind heart and willing hands has created a Cinderella type story for a group of Kamo High seniors.

A kind heart and willing hands has created a Cinderella type story for a group of Kamo High seniors.
Almost every young woman dreams of dressing up to attend a school ball. It's a magical moment, but sadly it's an expensive affair and not all girls get the chance to attend.
This year - thanks ...

Contractors are carrying out repairs to a collapsed sewer main in Porowini Ave West, from 6am Sunday 7th of May to 7pm Sunday 14th of May.
No traffic will be able to exit Porowinin Ave on to Maunu Rd during the works, however traffic on Maunu Rd will be able to enter Porowini Ave as per normal. Porowinin Ave West will be accessible to light commercial vehicles and cars from the Tarewa Rd end only, they will need to exit again via the entry point e.g. Tarewa/Porowini intersection. Note: the route will not suit large truck and trailer units as there will be insufficient turning room to get them back out.
The work needs to be done before more damage occurs and a spill results, the contractor has made resources available and we wish to take advantage of the favourable weather over the next week. Sorry for the inconvenience and we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
