Hi Guys,
I am wondering if I am the only person who can get very upset if the council, or contracted businesses by the council, paper delivery people drive their car or truck on the berm in front of your house, wrecking the grass, making grass less strips by slipping wheels, and the then they say… View moreHi Guys,
I am wondering if I am the only person who can get very upset if the council, or contracted businesses by the council, paper delivery people drive their car or truck on the berm in front of your house, wrecking the grass, making grass less strips by slipping wheels, and the then they say they will be back tomorrow to reinstate it. Or saying that is council land and we do what we want. I think, because I mow it and look after it, it is my responsability and I can tell them not to drive on MY grass.
When we moved into our rented place about three years ago we spend a lot of time and some money to reinstate the berm mess that was left by the previous renters. We had this year; road sealing, No clean up. Much later tractor with road sweeper sweeps leaves and stone chips to the gutters and leave it there, Broom truck will be here tomorrow, this was three months ago. Foot path repair, one square meter of concrete. Full size concrete mixer truck on the grass. One truck will orange cones, parked on the grass, 2 trucks with concrete workers on the grass, 2 utes on the grass.
I think I will give up looking after MY berm.
What do you think?

We're on the lookout for the most beautiful spots in New Zealand, and would love to hear your favourites.
While it will be impossible to include all of them in one article, we'd appreciate your help in narrowing it down. What do you think are most beautiful places in NZ's regions? Do you have a favourite spot in the Waikato, Taranaki, Canterbury, Southland or elsewhere?

With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?

Te Rau Oranga Fund has been established by Waikato Hospital doctors Ruth Tan (Ngaati Hangarau and Ngaati Mutunga) and Stephen Ng, along with their colleagues and families, and placed in the care of Momentum Waikato, where it is now open to public donations.
Ruth and Stephen’s ultimate goal is to improve health outcomes for Maaori in the Waikato, and they believe one of the ways this can be done is by increasing the number of Maaori working in the health system.
Their new Fund will achieve this by providing scholarships, career promotion and mentoring to students, initially at Te Kura Tuarua o Taniwharau-Fraser High School in Hamilton, which Ruth attended, and eventually at other local secondary schools in the Waikato.

We were delighted to be able to donate a small grant from the proceeds from the Waahine Toa event held in October 2022.
The ‘Waahine on Wheels’ programme and the Spirit of Coromandel Trust was selected following a nomination process, aiming to support an organisation or an individual in the Hauraki or Thames-Coromandel districts affected by the recent weather events.
The Spirit of Coromandel Trust’s purpose is to encourage and engage rangitahi, tamariki and waahine into outdoor activities by connecting them to nature, by bike. The grant will go to further developing opportunities for local waahine and building future capability within the region for more women and girls.
