Re Featherston
Many people have worked hard for a long time focussing on positives and not engaging with the false narrative that Featherston is a town full of whingers and losers. And the town is coming back up- again- this is cycle we've been through before.
Now the incredibly positive development Marcus and Neil were planning has failed, due to the Council being both overly officious and inflexible on car parking and negligent in their due diligence on the land swap.
When something like this happens, how can we express our rightful anger and disappointment, without being labelled negative again?
I am so sad and angry about the continual failures that have led to Featherston's town centre being so empty and underdeveloped for years. I have lost my faith and feel like the system is broken and stacked against us. Protest is a legitimate democratic technique and I will wholeheartedly participate and lead.
BUT we still have to play by the rules too in order to be heard. To that end, PLEASE take some time today:

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
