Global warming.
We hear of global warming,we hear of flash flooding.Here in Tokoroa it’s become a nice little earner.
A contractor tours the town and clears the drains of rubbish,plastic bottles leaves
etc.Great you may think.
But instead of removing them he or she ( can’t afford to be sexist these days) places them directly above the drain, on the grass berm.
A slight breeze or rain sees this debris back in the drain again.
I can only assume the contractor has a relation on the local council.
The council has been made aware of this situation,but considering what else has been a total stuff up in this town I must admit this is insignificant.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
