FREE rugby tickets for 1 adult and 2 children (up to age 14) to watch the Blues play the Chiefs on Friday 2 March at Eden Park. Kick-off is 7.35pm. I won these tickets and can't use them. They are available for pickup from Waiuku. I'd love to see them used. Ph 021 0707 601

This week it's Pukekohe North School's new principal - Jim Stafford-Bush. Jim has a reputation for transforming poorly performing schools into prosperous profiles. And since this is his last run as principal, Jim has his eye on the prize. His driving force is the potential that he sees in the students. He said his goals for this year are for the children to be engaged, respectful and proud of who they are, and where they come from. Good luck from the team at Franklin County News. We hope you create some more brilliant citizens of Franklin - like yourself!

Hi Auckland,
In a bid to attract new customers, SKY TV has created a cheaper Sky Basic package for $24.91 a month. We're curious to know if you'd be tempted by the offer. (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/comments used on Stuff)
Throughout March, we’re consulting on our 10-year Budget, as well as the draft Auckland Plan 2050. We also want to know what you think about our Pest Management Plan and our Waste Management and Minimisation Plan. #akhaveyoursay
