School Entrances and Judder Bars

Andrew from Trentham

As the first term ends and as the guardian to a Primary School Child and Kindergarten child, it is still to my horror that there are no Judder Bars at either entrance to Trentham Primary School nor Cottle Kindy.

Even though the law says there is a 40 km limit, it just leaves me shocked that come 08:30 - 09:15 & 14:30 - 15:30 when kids are being dropped off or picked.

The amount of moron drivers that drive through the narrow streets at speed without any concern for kids crossing the road is unbelievable. I know this will sound sexist but about 75% of said drivers appear to me as young women.

Where are the Police when you need them? I ask the council to now install kidder bars 25 meters apart at all the entrances. At Stephens Street, Thackeray Street, Sheridan Crescent.

Whilst at it, can you put judder bars ever 50 meters all around Thackeray Street to slow the not racers and Boy and down? Before someone including a child gets killed by one of these morons?

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!
