Merry Christmas - Now empty your pockets

Lloyd from Hillcrest

Supermarket prices for fresh fruit & vegetables have just sky rocketed. Even more I think than in previous years. We all know this happens at Christmas time so be very wary when you enter the doors. Also for those that shop at Pak N Save Wairau Road be further wary they are chalking all vehicles in their car park. When I was there earlier this morning the premises were not over patronised but to find a small trolley was well nigh impossible. It appears the supermarket is using these for storing stacking etc. They got a quantity of new ones not so long ago but the situation for shoppers has not improved. Have a happy holiday.

The Beach Haven Coastal Walk is now completely open! The upgraded tracks throughout Shepherds Park and Hellyers Creek are now finished (with some final points and tidy up to be completed in the new year).
You can now walk step-free from Cresta Ave through Shepherds Park, past the lookout, around Hellyers Creek Reserve, to the dip in Beach Haven Rd! And don't forget to detour to check out the boardwalk along the Shepherds Park water's edge.
The Kaipātiki Local Board members are very proud of what we've been able to achieve here, and the potential for additional connections in the future.
Thankyou to all of the council staff and contractors that have been involved in the different stages, and thankyou to everyone for your patience while work has been underway.
