WHAT’S HAPPENING OUTSIDE NON SOLO PIZZA?

Cheryl from Parnell

Vector need to replace a transformer located inside NSP (263 Parnell Rd), as it was installed many years ago. So between the 24th June 2024 and 13th July 2024 they will be replacing new high voltage network equipment at 263 Parnell Road.

During the work period, please expect to see:
• Excavation work on the footpath just outside 263 Parnell Road, which will create noise from time to time and will block a section of pedestrian access.
• A temporary transformer will be placed in the loading zone outside 269 Parnell Rd to facilitate ongoing power to affected properties.
• Parking restrictions and traffic flow - there will be limited parking directly around the worksite to allow their trucks and vehicles access to the worksite. During daytime hours, there will also be a loss of parking on the opposite side of the street in order to facilitate continued two way traffic up and down Parnell Rd. They do apologise that customers may need to be directed to parking further down the street or inside the parking at St John the Baptist.
• Work hours – most of the work will happen between 9am and 4pm, with some work taking place at night (9pm to 6am). The night works are not anticipated to create noise. There will also be two planned outages and affected properties have been notified.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES THROUGH THIS DISRUPTION!
Non Solo Pizza have to unfortunately close over this period, and will probably remain closed until the end of July as they will use the closure to complete some internal renovations. But most other businesses are trading as usual. Gerome will be trading as normal, 7 days a week, Parnell Gallery will be closed the first week of July, but otherwise trading as normal, and look out for the new coffee kiosk opening at 269 Parnell Rd from 8th July.

A reminder this hunting season

The Team from New Zealand Police

As thousands of hunters are making their plans for autumn – the Roar – recreational firearms groups are urging hunters to always be 100% sure of their targets.

Te Tari Pureke - Firearms Safety Authority NZ, which chairs the Recreational Firearms Users Group, has begun a public information campaign reminding hunters everywhere of Rule #4 of the Firearms Safety Code: to identify their target beyond all doubt.

Director Communities and Corporate, Mike McIlraith, says there is an estimated 50,000-60,000 New Zealanders involved in big game animal hunting each year, and the Roar is the key event for many hunters each year.
“The Roar is a fantastic time of year for hunters to get out into the hills after a trophy animal but hunting safely and making sure everyone gets home in one piece, still must be the most important goal of every trip,” says Mike McIlraith.
“The consequences of not fully identifying your target beyond all doubt can be catastrophic. Our message to hunters is a really simple one: If you are not sure, then don’t shoot.”

Mike McIlraith says while hunting fatalities are thankfully rare, research has shown that misidentification of the target is the largest firearms related risk to New Zealand deer hunters, and 80% of the time this involves members of the same hunting group.

The Authority says hunters should not feel pressured to take a shot: “Instead, hunters should take the time to analyse their target, wait and see if it is a hind or stag, how old is the animal, how many points does its antlers have? Identifying your target means never firing at sound, shape, colour or movement alone.”

Mike McIlraith says good hunters will slow down, and run through some simple mental checks:
- Can I see the whole animal, or could this be another hunter?
- Where are my hunting companions – could this be them or someone else?
- How much of the animal can you see, if it is a hind or stag, how old is the animal, how - many points does its antlers have?

“Taking a little extra time to identify your target and check the firing zone is the key to safer hunting. No meat or no trophy is better than no mate,” he says.
