Te Kowhai News - May issue
Hi neighbours!
This issue features your food photos of which there are a few. As well as an interview with the sweet-talking fast-moving Edwina Prendergast. The nearly 92 year old fabulous local who's not afraid of a bit of hard graft. Quite possibly the most incredible person I've ever interviewed.
Graham McBride our local historian has supplied another local history story to continue the 'roads of Te Kowhai' series.
Remember, his stories are all available in his Tales of Te Kowhai book. You can order one direct from Graham by giving him a bell on 07 829 7726.
Te Kowhai Cafe is open for business. They do a mean pie, a fast coffee and a wicked egg and bean bagel stack for breakfast.
Anyway, enough from me.
Te Kowhai News is delivered free to all homes and businesses in RD8. Or check out your digital copy here.

Poll: Do you think this is a good idea?
The city council’s keen to get a slice of big landowners’ capital gain from rezoned but unbuilt areas as it prepares for a potentially costly onslaught of fast-track projects.
Wary of new Government rules said to pose “very significant” growth-related risks when it’s already carefully counting dollars, city bean counters are on the hunt for “value capture” tools to help keep up with demand in the growing city.
Do you think this is a good idea? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
