Poll: How do you find the CBD's parking system?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Confusion around central city parking is making it “too hard” for some, “so we don’t come in,” a CBD leader’s been told.

Complaints include a pricing structure that’s hard to get your head around, and that payment kiosks are hard to find and require too many buttons pushes, councillors heard.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
