POST ONE
Flooding at the Hicksford Road and Foxton Shannon Road Intersection.
I have complained to the council about flooding at this intersection that is flowing down the the verge of Foxton Shannon Road and Flooding into my property and under my house. The response from the chief Executive Officer is to say the the following "Our team has been out to inspect the site several times last week, and so far have not been able to see any water moving through the roadside verge towards your property. We are aware of a historic flooding issue at Hickford Road, but we aren’t aware of this water flooding over Hickford Road last week."
It may be fevered delusions' from the flu or Covid, but went to this intersection again this morning, I clearly see what looks like water flowing over this intersection on the cemetery side of the road.
If you can see this too, can you please email your confirmation of this and your photo to the chief Executive Officer Monique Davidson: moniqued@horowhenua.govt.nz
POST TWO
If you live on this street and have flooding on your road or property, I just want to make sure you are aware of two things.
The first is the Foxton East Drainage Scheme that local ratepayers are paying millions of dollars for over the next 10-20 years.
The second is that there used to be a culvert under the Foxton Shannon and Hicksford Road intersection that was sealed over when the road was widened. Where there was a culvert, I presume there was also a ditch down the over side of the road as well that is was also lost.
The Foxton East Drainage Scheme has a canal at Nye Road off 'union street, 1-2 km from the Hickford Road Intersection. Putting a culvert and drainage lane back down this road and into the Nye Road Canal would help ease the ground table level before it reaches flooding levels. It would allow people on this street benefit from the money they are putting into this scheme.
If having of a drainage system down this road is of benefit to you, then please contact your councilors about it.

Many a foreign object can flick onto the surface of the wallpapers in your home, ranging from food to crayon to fly spray, and like any textile, wallpapers need a little bit of love every now and then. A regular wipe down with a clean cloth should keep dust and marks at bay, however, there are times when there may be the need for a deeper clean.
To better understand how to care for your wallcoverings we need to first discuss the different types of wallpapers on the market and their cleaning durability. The main three classifications are:
1. Scrubbable
Generally heavy vinyl’s, these types of wallcoverings are suited to higher trafficc areas as they can withstand scrubbing to remove stains and dirt more effectively.
2. Washable
Coated papers (light weight vinyl) would fall into this category, a mild detergent and water can be used to occasionally wipe surface of wallcovering. They are unsuitable for high traffic areas due to light cleaning and inability to remove stains or contaminants without damage.

Spark have recently announced a price increase of $3 - $5 a month for new and existing broadband customers and other providers seem likely to follow suit.

Information collated by our research team has found that tens of thousands of Kiwis are still missing out on hundreds of dollars of savings each year on their broadband bill, because they are failing to shop around for cheaper broadband plans.
We estimate that over 500,000 households would be able to pay less for their broadband each month but many consumers are unaware of the fact that they could be making these savings and people often don’t know where to start when looking for a change in broadband plan or provider.
This is where NZ Compare can help. Our websites are simple to use and if you need more help, our friendly, Auckland based, customer support centre can advise on the most suitable broadband plan for your needs and help talk you through the switch. With unlimited fibre broadband plans available for less than $60 a month why would you pay more?
Find out more at NZ Compare or call the team on 0508 226672
CORRECTION: This post has been amended to clarify that the price of fibre and copper broadband internet services will increase, and that the increase is between $3 and $5 a month, not only $5 a month on fibre broadband plans as previously posted. (Amended at 10.31am, June 23, 2022)
