Council Road Marking in Early Hours.
Why is it that we have to put up with the ineptitude of the City Council to plan their work for a more social time of the day. The early hours of this morning (03:30am) I was awoken by a cacophony of noise as the Council Contractors chose to carry out road marking around Sanctuary Gardens. It seems that they can waste their time and money on road marking that was perfectly adequate prior to their early morning escapade. Maybe they should have spent the money more wisely repairing the pavements around the area which are breaking up due to tree roots pushing up the pavement. Did we vote in this council? and they want to increase our rates to pay for their incompetency?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
